Which GPU is better?

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

I was wondering which GPU option would be best between the MSI GAMING Radeon RX 480 ARMOR OC 4GB vs the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC GAMING ACX 3.0 also 4GB. I want to play games like Rust or Witcher 3 on 1080p.

The 480 is like 50% faster lol

Easily 480.

Thanks, I was stuck between the two GPUs under $200. As people recommended I use the 1050 but didn't know which model they were talking about.

If your looking for the NVIDIA counterpart, its the 1060 6GB

So if I install the NVIDIA 1060, and I currently use another NVIDIA card, would I still need to uninstall and reinstall drivers?

Better safe than sorry, takes less than 10mins to do so

Just making sure, so is the 1060 6gb better than the 480 OC 4g? or how are they in comparison?

Very slightly. But its a lot more expensive from what I see.

Why do you need this? you have the best computer in the world Courage!

 

Jokes aside, I don't like MSi but I think you're better off with a rx480 than the 1050ti since you know, the rx480 competes with the GTX 1060 rather.

How is that so? There is almost 10fps difference between them

is the RX 480 the same as the 480 Armor OC?

Ahh. But from what I recall the value on the RX 480 is better. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'm ok with anything as long as I can play 1080p from mid to high settings. I enjoy playing Overwatch and Rust but get pretty annoyed when games start lagging on the lowest settings, running at like 12fps. I think the only games I can run smoothly are Life is Strange and Left 4 Dead 2.

Do you know if the Armor runs off the motherboard or if additional power is required?
