Hey guys I was upgrading my old system and want some suggestion for a Gpu. My current setup is

 

Cpu: i5 2500k

MB: Intel DH67BL

GPU: Radeon Hd6750

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x2

HDD: Samsung 840 120gb + Seagate 1Tb

Monitor: Lg E2041 (20" with 1600x900 resolution 

 

So i am confused between the GTX 1050ti and the GTX 1060 3gb version?

According to  http://thebottlenecker.com/ 1050ti is the best buy as it will not bottle neck with my cpu. But it does not have a power connector. And so i am thinking for a 1060 3gb.

@deXxterlab97 Well i want to go with an Nvidia card this time. My older card was a Hd 6750.

If you are going with Nvidia get the 6GB 1060.

What's the point of getting a 6gb card and running it on a 1600x900 res monitor?

To be fair, Full HD is 1080p, not 900p. Plus the 6GB version of the GTX 1060 is slightly better than the 3GB version. As in, the GTX 1060 GB has more shader units.

 

Also that website seems to be fear mongering. It provides almost no information about what anything means.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Sure slight better but over a fair price. Mainly only over the texture units i guess.

You do know that 6GB isn't that special anymore we have GPU's with 8GB, 11GB, 12GB and 24GB (Quadro P6000)

Yes i surely know that. As i don't have a multi-monitor setup i guess a 6gb gpu will be an over kill

900p? get a second hand GTX 970? Could end up cheaper and would suffice... the GTX 1060 3gb is a bad card for the cost, would go 1050ti even though if you can find a rx 470 inside your price range that's what you should get

What bottleneck? You have a 2500K you'll be fine.

 

Also you should get an RX 480 for $180, it's better than a 1060 3GB even in Nvidia-favored games.

 

Or could find an RX 470 for $150-$160 that would be good too.
