Hi there, I'm about to upgrade my current GPU which is only about 1.5 / 2 years old. Why I'm upgrading is because there is a Trade - In Event on one of my pc part sellers and regarding it is hard on my country to sell a used gpu I'm thinking why not upgrade it rather than in 2 - 3 years later I'll upgrade and just leave my 750 Ti unused also because the limitation of 2GB VRAM and I play games like Watchdogs 2, GTA V and Skyrim this limits my VRAM breathing room and let to stutters whenever the VRAM is swapping. So the Trade - In extra price I need to upgrade are as below (the terms for the trade in is that I must trade it with the same brand): From my Asus Strix GTX 750 Ti OC 2GB To (I have to convert the currency to USD) Asus GTX 960 DirectCU II OC 4GB Strix = $183.80 Asus GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB Strix = $142.54 Asus Radeon RX 470 4GB Strix = $189.42 I'm currently aiming the 1050 since it is cheaper, and I'm trying to limit the budget not more than $180 in my currency. But after researching a bit and watching some benchmark results the RX 470 is winning most of them but with slight disadvantages 1. Higher Temp (regarding research about AMD products) 2. From the benchmark showing AMD consumes larger power, almost 30 - 45% more I think (if I convert it correctly) 3. I never use any AMD products at all, so I'm kind of new to it. Which one is better for maybe 2 - 3 years or maybe 1 - 2 years if 3 years is too long (since game is advancing rapidly on graphics)? My specs: Motherboard : Gigabyte Z87X-OC Processor : Intel i7 - 4770K Ram : 8GB PSU : 700w Silverstone Monitor: I haven't check but my highest resolution is 1680 x 1050 in most games. Thank you before
