R7 360 or GTX 1050ti

[Billy_Mays]

I'm wondering what GPU I should get for my AMD Phenom ll x4 925 and I probably will sell my rig in the future so then I could get a better one with the money I get from my rig that Im wanting to build

Def 1050 Ti, it's not even a contest. But it'll cost more

Ok but I was wanting the more cost effective route

$120 R7 360 and $208 GTX 1050 ti

1050Ti shits all over the 360. That said, we can't sufficiently answer your question as we don't know what you expect to gain from your GPU purchase, we don't know how much either of them cost, and we don't know what GPU you currently have.

That's a 360.

I'd do the 1050 Ti here, but you should be able to find one for less than that. Or an RX 470 perhaps

Ah gotcha.

Well, if you want something more cost effective, don't spend so much for a 1050Ti, you can easily save $30;

Regardless, an R7 360 for $120CAD is baaad, you can get a 460 for that price;

Alternatively, right in between the 2, you can get a 1050;

470's are a little more expensive than the 1050 ti

470/570 is vastly faster (25-40%) than a 1050 ti, so I'd consider getting it instead.

It's about 25% more expensive. A little more than 25% actually. So, it's not really worth it, especially considering OP specifically stated he wanted a more cost effective card. That said, if he's expecting to play AAA titles at very high settings, a 1050Ti isn't going to cut it.

I'm willing to play any game at any setting its just the fact that I get to play it

Read my post above. Get a 1050Ti for $180, or go for the cheaper 1050. Otherwise, you can get an RX 460 for the price you were seeing 360's. Any of those will let you play games comfortably. The 1050 is a good middle ground.

Yeah. You can get a 1050Ti for $180 or a 470 for $230, that's what 30/35% price increase?

28%. Definitely a bigger difference...

Knew it was more than 25%, I was a tad off with 30/35% lol. It's not really worth him spending the extra IMO, specifically because he already stated he was looking for a more cost effective GPU. If it were me, I'd personally definitely spend the extra for a 470, but then at that point you can spend an extra $20 or so for a 480/580.
