What GPU should I get?

[Zeke_]

I just can't decide what graphics card I should get, I don't want to get something overkill if it's not needed so I need some advice. I would be using this card for indie games, and Overwatch but I don't really have much interest in any AAA titles other an Overwatch. I can't decide between the rx 460, gtx 1050 or the gtx 1050 Ti. What do you think would be best to fit my needs?

if you can get an rx 470 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126174&cm_re=rx_470-_-14-126-174-_-Product

 

if not the 1050 would be your best bet.

To be honest, if your power supply can handle it and if your motherboard has enough slots; I would crossfire some AMD 7000 series or 6000 series GPUs. You might be able to save some money if you buy used cards since they go for cheaper and you should also get similar performance.

Get either RX 470 or 1050 Ti

The 460 and 1050 are very low end, and approaching the "waste of money" threshold.  For the price of those cards you can pick up a used GTX 770 which will outperform by a lot.

 

For a new GPU I think the 470 or 1050 Ti are the lowest anyone should buy.  Lower budgets should look at used components.  To help decide what used GPU, compare the Tom's Hardware GPU Heirarchy Chart.

Maybe get a gtx 1060 (or rx480, whichever you prefer) for futureproof. ness.

Well I got the GTX 1050 ti and it performs great with most all games running at 1080p Medium-High settings. Also its a Smaller card.(depending on the model though) Personally I really like this card but if you prefer AMD i recommend the RX 470 as its basically the same card but with some extremely slight improvements in computing and gaming.
