Which Graphics Card to Choose from These ?

[VingerBold]

Hello Guys .. 

I haven't been Gaming in Like a Few Years and i Decided to give my PC an Upgrade that would Get me Back in Action , 

and According to Budget and all i Have to choose one of these USED Graphics Cards .. which are all in the same Price Range here .

 

1 - HIS RX 570 4G

2- ASUS RX 470 4G

3- GTX1050TI 2G

4- GTX 960 2G

 

So Please Help me Choose which one is the best Choice ? 

Thank you Guys

Rx570/470 is the obvious option as they are much faster than the 1050ti and 960.

well the 1050 TI got 4gb vram, if it says 2gb its just a normal 1050. If you have to choose one of those go for the rx 570. the rx 470 is still ok but got some lower clock speeds than the rx 570 and its a bit older. Most rx 400 series cards also dont got such good coolers either. The 1050ti/1050 and gtx 960 is like 80% slower than the rx 470/570 too so those are just a waste of money. 

 

Whats your budget too? if there are any other options.

look for an old gtx 980 somewhere, it will be cheap.

Thanks for the Detailed Reply. 

well my Budget is 2000 Egyptian Pounds .. which is Equal to 120 USD and that is the Price Range for these Used Cards here in Egypt ,

The Next Level of Cards is like 3000 + which are the RX 580 , GTX 1060 , GTX 1070 etc....

Does that Mean the GTX 980 is Better than the Cards i Mentioned ? or Just Cheaper ?

Ah, im guessing the used market there isnt that big. Well anyways, go for the rx 570, as it got faster clocks than the rx 470. The rx 570 is newer, and better cooling/heatsink.

those cards are NOT cheaper. Here in Sweden they can be found for like min 200$.

Yes its a bit faster. But im pretty sure those are more expensive as here in sweden they can be found at cheapest 200$ USED.

so True ... 

i found it for 4500 Egyptian Pounds which is Equal to 270 USD which is way above my Budget .. i think i'll go with the RX 570 seems like my best Choice Price to Value-wise

ofc 980 is a beast in front of these little babies you mentioned above. Price may depend on the region you are in

very unlikely it will be cheaper. its a bit faster tho, but driversupport is falling a little behind in modern titles. 

 

if you have a good PSU and want to go ever cheaper. there is allways the r9 290. which is roughly rx 570 tho avoid reference design cards like the plague

lol driver support?
people are still using there 760s or 970-980 with there high end rigs and latest titles, there is nothing known as driver support falling, its just a mind that does not accept an old card which will definitely perform better then newer entry level expensive cards.

you mean that thing amd does better than nvidia? afaik it's still good enough to play a lot of games

all i'm saying, if you have a good gpu, even with old drivers you can play all the latest titles with good fps. and its funny when people are calling gtx 980 a old and driver support falling card.

[VingerBold]

i believe if you accept playing games at Med of even Low Settings , you will be able to use the same GPU for like 5 to 6 years Regardless of Drivers .

well, its a combination of driver and the architecture not being able to do parallel workloads like both GCN/RDNA and Turing can.

900 series is still doing good. 700 series arent doing very nicely. especially comparing them to contemporary cards like the R9 200 series and HD 7900. 

 

now its either GCN drivers being really good, or kepler and maxwel drivers/architecture falling behind. 

 

its what AMD fanboys have labeled under "finewine", but really its just games changing and the lower driversupport Nvidia is able to offer as they put focus on more modern architectures.

you can play fine, but since the card is sadly incapable of propper async compute. it will rarely be unplayable, you will just run into a little lower performance than what you should expect from this caliber of a card. the good thing for driversupport regarding maxwell is that Pascal should keep it up to date for a while. 

 

and i will correct on my own statement that its more of a combo of architecture and drivers in newer titles.

who cares about gysnc or async  if your card is already giving you a stable 60fps.

you mean Gsync? that was never in the picture....... heck you cant use adaptive sync with maxwell.

a lot of people actually as its an important component in everything not dx9 and dx11 and it leads to quite significant gains in some cases.

its kinda important when its a dealbreaker for how long it will be able to deliver that. or deliver that at all

[RaylongTale]

RX 570 4GB is the powerful card among the list.
It can pretty much run all games on Ultra @60fps except few late 2019 released games.
