1050ti vs 1060 3gb GTX 1050 Ti vs GTX 1060 3GB ?

[StarboyXO]

Hey guys!

 

I'm getting a good deal by replacing my current 1050Ti  to a 1060 3GB.

I don't have that much money to buy the 6GB Version but i can get the 1060 3GB so that 6GB card is not an option !    With that said,

I know the 1060 3GB will give me better gaming performance than the 1050Ti but exactly how much? And how less does it performs from it's big brother (6GB 1060)?

I'm just having this last talk  before buying!

Will it be worth it to buy the 3GB 1060 in exchange of 1050Ti?

 

THANKS!

The jump from a GTX 1050 Ti to a GTX 1060 3gb is hardly worth the hassle, can't you just sell the GTX 1050 Ti and look at the new GTX 1660 Ti?

See the difference for yourself:

General consensus is that the 3gb is not going to be worth your money. Can I ask what prices you're looking at?

From a shop, I'm getting an offer to give $30 to 40 more for a GTX 1060 3gb (MINI) 

(My card is also mini)

The problem is that i don't have any cash but this seemed a little affordable

Anything above $50 is not an option for me

It will probably not be worth, it is such a small upgrade, if you do not have a g-sync monitor you could consider something on the amd side, but we need to know you budget

Oh

Not more than $50

That's a problem i know

But as i mentioned above 

I'm getting the mini 1060 3gb in replace

by paying $30 to 40 more

I'll bargain with him

But do you mean it is literally not even worth for $30 or 40 more?

I might have to wait in that case

For $30 more, do it.  It's an upgrade and $30 is trivial (a good steak basically).  If I could spent $30 right now and get even 5 fps increase I would.

 

People need to realize the audience and that even small gains are infact.... gains.

If you only have to pay an additional $30 it's definitely worth it. The 1060, even in 3GB form, is a lot faster than a 1050 Ti.

You're selling yourself and your gear short, my dude. You could sell your 1050 ti for a solid 75+ on ebay these days without blinking. Take that and your 40 more, and look into a used 980ti, 1070, rx580 8gb, or even your 6gb 1060 on ebay

[Nocte]

I'd go to RX 570 rather than 1060 3GB.

Actually i live in pakistan,

First of all, There's no ebay in my region and the market runs alot differently here!

your saying to save $120 for a 980Ti?

People buy used or refurbished 1050 2GB  for that price here in pakistan

 

Your point of view is right though but my region is saying to me "Nah bro.. Faak off"

Yeah, tons of 1070's going for $115 on Ebay.  /sarcasm

 

With work he could get a bit better, but for a nice easy no-sweat trade+cash?  I'd do it, enjoy your gaming increase and be done.

i wouldn't. and it's a local shop from what i understand. it wasn't an option.

This seems interesting..

But doesn't the RX 570 Require more wattage than the 1060?

if you can get to that point. i would. a 980ti is a lot better than the 1060 3gb.

i wouldn't do it. yes it requires more wattage too. and its slightly worse

Yes, but a 400W PSU can handle it...

Not on a Buy it Now, certainly. I watch bidding trends though, and it could certainly happen. It's lower on the list of likelihoods.

My bad, I can only really see things through my own regional scope.

[StarboyXO]

That's not what i'm concerned about

I have 550 watt PSU

I'm looking it in long term

Electricity is expensive here and it might not endup looking good in the bills

[martward]

That sounds like a very reasonable upgrade. If the seller is trustworthy, I'd do it.

[StarboyXO]

OK! So i have made up my mind!
I'll ask the shop retailer to lower some money in replace !
For $30 or less!   ill take it

But i'll additionally ask him for other cards in replace! 
Now can you guys suggest some models? Just don't tell me high wattage cards
