Replacing GT630 with GTX 1050/60

[Skorpion5789]

Hi, ltt community! I'm gonna replace my old good GT630 with 10 series card. But there's problem. GTX 1050TI have 4GB VRAM but it's weaker than GTX1060 3GB, and THEN GTX1060 3GB version is unstable and drops sometimes. Well, my budget is 241$, and I can't go over it, so... someone knows which one will be better? I'm not buying, like 5 games in one month. Here's my specification:

- Intel Core i5-3330

- 2x4 GB HyperX from Kingston

- Windows 7 64-bit (I'm gonna upgrade to Windows 10 for DX12)

- 600W PSU from Chieftec

- 500 GB HDD from WD

- Asrock Z77 Pro 4 motherboard

- LG 22EN33 monitor + LG TV as second monitor and speakers

- 2 additional fans

-----------------------------------------------------

BTW. Games which I'm playing right now are Watch Dogs 2 and Battlefield 4.

Get a 4GB RX 480 or 4GB RX 570 if you can afford them, easily better than the 1050Ti and the GTX 1060 3GB.

Maybe a RX580 will satisfy you?

Oh, I forgot about AMD cards. Ok thanks, I can check them out!

i have a personal grudge against the GTX1060 3GB just because nvidia had the balls to call it a 1060...

 

but all in all, in that budget range i'd recommend looking into an RX480/580.

I would not at all buy a 1060 3GB, If you want a 1060 get the 6GB.

If you can squeeze a 580 out your budget, thats probably what i would recommend, otherwise, the 1050ti is best value IMO.

1050Ti is not a good value (at least when all cards are priced acording to MSRP).

Between the 1060 3gb and 1050ti 4gb, the 1060 will be a better choice, no doubt.
