Upgrade From 750Ti

[Mind_001]

I have a question, what is a good card to replace my 750Ti?

 

1050Ti? 1060? I don't think I need to go as high as the 1070/1080 or 2070/2080 class.

 

I do game, but nothing hard. Just Minecraft, a little of Fortnite, maybe Overwatch if I get desperate. I play all on normal, so nothing fantastic.

 

I "could" just use the APU on my "future" Ryzen 5 2600. But most boards only come with 1 or 2 HDMI/DP ports.

 

If you can go around or below $300-400, that'd be the range I want to go.

What CPU do you have right now?

Also the Ryzen 5 2600 has no integrated graphics, you would need to buy the Ryzen 5 2400G if you wanted an APU.

The 2600 doesn't have graphics so that wont work, you'd need an apu with the possible ryzen build.

 

4gb 1050ti is a pretty good upgrade from a 750ti, about 70-80% faster whereas the 1060 6gb is over twice as fast, but if your looking at a 1060, just get either the 1060/580/590 which ever is cheapest at the time. 

 

$200 1060 6gb https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500454&Description=1060&cm_re=1060-_-14-500-454-_-Product

$190 580 8gb https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150794&Description=580&cm_re=580-_-14-150-794-_-Product

$170 1050ti 4gb https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137054&Description=1050ti&cm_re=1050ti-_-14-137-054-_-Product

 

At these prices, I'd go with the rx580

Also to add, I doubt a ryzen apu would be faster than a 750ti, since most benchmarks for the 2400g don't beat a 1030, pretty sure the 7050ti is still faster than a 1030

[Mind_001]

My mistake, I was looking at a different CPU. That's what made me think that. Sorry all..

 

Right now I have a i5 6400.

 

I demise AMD GPU's ever since I got my 750Ti. I do not know if they have gotten better in Linux, but my 7850 (think thats what it was) was horrible on Linux. Got my 750Ti like 2 years ago.

A reference 750ti is basically a 1030.

I'd say either a 1060 or a 580 would be fine.

Isn't the 1050Ti more powerful than the 1060?

Nope. The 1060 is more powerful than the 1050 Ti.

If you want a cheaper card I would get a RX 570 it's way more powerful compared to the 1050ti and arou d the same price range. If you do have the cash I would recommend a 1060. It would provide a large leap from your 750ti. And if not get a RX 580 which is on par with a 1060 and is arguably a little better.

There any manufacturer you can recommend? I do like ASUS and Gigabyte, but I am not sure about ASRock, Powercolor or MSI...

 

MSI I lost interest after I sent their motherboard in for RMA 3 times. After that, I stay clear away from them...

 

And I had a PowerCool in the old AGP days...

^That says the 1060 is 2% better than the 580.

 

Is that going to matter ALL that much? I mean we're just talking a $10 difference here...

No it won't, the extra vram might be useful depending on use case, then again I've an r9 fury with 4gb's on it and haven't had a problem with vram (well wolfenstein won't load the better textures but meh). Nothing wrong with options

 

As for drivers can't say much for linux, but check some of the lvl1techs chanel/forum, it appears that amd has better driver support under linux these days. Haven't used a linux distro on a main machine since the early 2000's so i don't have an experience there.

The 1050 Ti is the spiritual successor of the 750 Ti. Before prices went stupid, it was the budget king in the same way that the 750 Ti was from 2014-2016. If your budget is $400 and your power supply has a six-pin, I'd recommend going with an RX 580 or GTX 1060 6GB instead. I would lean towards the RX 580, and I currently own two 1060s and zero 580s if that helps with any possible bias concerns.

Not quite. A 750 Ti still has a good bit of bump on the 1030. The 1030 is closer to an HD 7770 or GTX 650, IIRC. It can do just about anything a 750 Ti can, just not as well.

YEAH MAN there was a post on the pcmr reddit where someone got banned for LIFE to rma... this just tells you their products suck. shady crap.

Actually no, the 580 is better than 1060.. you should take userbenchmark with a pinch of salt. (580 4gb and 8gb has same performance unless you game on 1440p so just save the money and get a 4gb one)

[BlockedTheShot]

You could try going for a rx 570.  Around the same price as a 1050 ti, but performs like a 970

[Mind_001]

Noted as above, the RX 580:

Is the same price as a 1060.

I recommend getting an RX 580 straight up. It doesn't really matter what brand. Sapphire is the best but Asus, Gigabyte and XFX are also excellent cards. RX 580 is the best possible card for the price range you are looking at. without going into super expensive cards like the 1070 and up. Don't think too much on it or you will be caught in a part loop and end up not buying something for so long that even these cards will become more outdated. Buy what you feel is best for your needs and what you like. 

[mayonnaiseblackhole]

I would definitely go for the RX 570 as the games you are playing are not that graphically intensive and is probably the best value for graphics cards today. It will easily play any game on high settings at 1080p 60 for the next few years if not beyond.

[SSJGodemis]

Wait for the RTX 2060. It will be $350 and perform at the 1070-1070 Ti level.
