I'm having problems to decide. Whether to buy GTX1050 2GB OR RX460 4GB, its a 10€, difrence, really xd(I'm poor so I want to save some money) I want to go for the rx460 because its 4gb and yet still cheaper. Give me your opinion, I'm only playing CSGO and H1Z1

iirc the 460 is either on par or faster than the 1050 across the board in dx12 and vulkan titles. 

However in dx11 the gap tends to shift the other way, though not by much.

 

If 10p is going to make a difference, than save it and go for the 460, truth be told they're both about the same, with the 460 preforming better in the future, and the 1050 performing marginally better in slightly more games right now.

The problem w/ that is. RX460 has 4GB memory and 1050 has only 2GB, so theoretically I'm saving a lot, by going for the 4gb.

I have a gtx 1060 3gb and i never had to worry about having not enough vram, on most games i use maybe 2.4gb vram, yes the 460 has 4gb but that doesnt mean it gonna perform better.

I would pick the 1050 but thats just my opinion

You probably haven't pushed it to the limits yet... My friend sold his to buy my rx 470 because he couldn't max out the games we played, I had 8 gb vram to play around with but he felt handicapped with having to turn off stuff (especially in GTA V)

I have a friend who is running ab OC'd FX-8320 with an RX 460 4gb(Sapphire)  for a cheap encoding PC/gaming machine at 1080. It runs pretty well. He was getting around 40- 50fps in Mass Effect Andromeda at Med/High settings.

If you can't decide....

Pick 1050 if have Intel

 

Pick 460 if you have AMD

:P

 

I have i3-6100 but the price diffrence is dragging me to the RX460. The only games i play is CSGo or H1Z1 and mostly some potato games that run 700000fps without a gpu -_-
