Best GPU upgrade from a 1050ti?

tgiDylan

Hi,

 

I have recently built a new system (apart from GPU)

 

Specs;

i5 9600k

STRIX z390 H gaming

Gigabyte 1050 TI 4gb

16gb HyperX 2666Mhz

 

It won't be until the summer that i upgrade my GPU but i was just wondering on some tips on what would be best to upgrade to when the time comes.

 

Was thinking a 2070 but then the 1660ti came out which leads me to believe more 16 series cards could be coming out this year?

 

Anyway, any pointers and tips would be great. Thanks

Let us know when you're ready to upgrade. Any advice we give now would likely be inaccurate in a few months.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

Depends on u r budget ..(definition differs from person to person)

if high go for 2070

mid go for 2060

a bit low then go for 1660ti

at the least .. go for rx 580 

 

anything lower than this will suck

I'd recommend a 1060 6gb, a used 1070/1070ti.

 

You also may want to just hold off on upgrading since some of the new GPU's are going to be dropping this year.

If you don't need RTX, don't bother with those cards. Even though the 2070 does produce good framerates.

 

(forgot to mention the 1660TI.)

As of right now, the most sensible option would be a used 1080, or a new 2070 if you want something new. But who knows, maybe AMD will get off their ass and drop something good by the time you're ready to upgrade.

Navi is obviously the big one. But it's pretty likely as there are already leaks for new Nvidia cards. Also prices change regularly.

 

I wouldn't necessarily say wait for Navi, but if you're waiting several months anyway then there's not really sense in making a recommendation now.
