Budget gpu pick

[FlyingReinbeers]

I want to game triple-a titles like GTA V, and I can't choose between the 1050 and 1050Ti, the only thing I'm considering is the extra 2GB of VRAM. Are the extra 30$ for the Ti version worth it, or are 2GB enough?

Going to upgrade in 2 years, give or take.

Yes, the 1050ti is worth the extra $30.

If you can get RX470 4G for the same price as 1050ti then it is even better deal.

If you can afford a 1050ti, you would get a much better experience with an RX480 4g.

I totally agree, as the 1050 ti is waaaaaay over priced at $159+ now, but the rx480's have been going up for the last 2 months. ei in February there were sales where 8 gig 480's were selling for $179, now you are lucky to find a 4 gig for $199, and an 8 for $207-$230, so I assumed he was really going budget.

Newegg doesn't ship to my country, and IF it does, it would have to go through customs, and that is a mess.

The cheapest RX470 I can get is 188€, and a RX480 4GB is 212€. But being so, I will wait for the 1050Ti prices to come down after some of the hype has passed.

I KNOW I can get a 1050Ti for less than 155€, so I'll keep an eye out.

If I can get something used, what do you advise? Power limits are at about 300W, but space is at a premium right now.

I also found a R9 380X reference design here for the same as a 1050 Ti, but it's pretty long.
