i also forgot to mention that my psu is only 500W atm. and this R9 280X takes up 250W :o

id be willing to upgrade my psu tho

 

btw.. is the 1050ti better at watts/performance ratio??? <----whatever taht was called. lol

 

Yes the 1050TI is one of the best fps/watt cards but the 280x should be faster by quite a bit

im going to buy a new videocard maybe next week. but im kinda undecided about these 2 cards.

theres a sale going on right now where i come from. and these 2 cards cost exactly the same.

im kinda leaning for the R9 280X. but then again. the 1050ti is the latest atm.

 

what are your opinions?

thanks

Between the 2 cards, just get a 1050 Ti. Newer tech, uses less power, basically performs a bit better than the 280X in games, and 4GB VRAM.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

According to tests the 280x would be marginally slower actually, surprised me too.

Huh, got any benchmarks? That really surprises me but I guess it's worse then the R9 380 by a bit so it's not too strange

Many videos on youtube comparing the 1050ti 4GB VS the GTX680/HD7970 (280x) based cards.

It sure IS surprising.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
