2 GTX 1050 Ti's 4 Gb or GTX 1070

[That Mason Guy]

I Just built my first PC yesterday and I was asking to see if I should get 2 MSI 1050 Ti Gaming X's 4Gb or if I should go with a MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8Gb

My new Build

CPU: Ryzen 5 1400 (OC to 3.8GHz)

Motherboard: Asus Prime B350 Plus

Memory: Ripjaws 16Gb kit, 3000MHz (2x8Gb)

Storage: Western Digital Blue 1TB

PSU VTX600 (80+ Bronze)

Graphics Card: GT610 2Gb

Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-ALPHA

If you have any tips on my build don't hesitate to reply

1070

 

You can't even SLI 1050Tis.

[Unhelpful]

That's like asking if you should have two slices of plain white bread or a full turkey on sourdough sandwich.

Always buy the most powerful single card you can before resorting to sli. 

[Linksys120n]

dude... 1st of all... SLI is dead... in general.

 

2nd. 1050tis as noted before, have no SLI

 

3rd. Always always always get the single fastest GPU (your) money can buy.

1070.

SLI issues aside, what kind of games do you play? And do you do any creative work with Adobe apps?

I'm looking to play RPG games anything new, I'm uograding from my Xbox so, looking to try new games and with Adobe apps, not to much at the moment but, but I'm about to get back into creating games through unity and JavaScript, why do you ask?

Because it helps determine whether or not you should even buy a 1070/1080 at the moment. If you plan on pushing 4K, or you want really high framerates for FPS or action games at 1080p, then a 1060 or 1070 is a great way to go. Otherwise, I'd personally save your money and buy a 1050Ti for now, since you might not be ready to buy a 4K monitor by the time better GPUs come out that can actually push more than 45-60FPS at 4K. Just my opinion though - if you've got money to burn, then by all means find a great deal on a 1060 or 1070 and call it good.

Thanks, I might just go the 1050Ti, depending on its performance. I'm really just looking to get a graphics card that can push out, 60 Fps ultra settings on most games at 1080p

[DoctorZeus]

a 1060 for 4k? let alone a 1070? What is going on in this thread? 1050Ti to max out all games at 1080p? 

 

None of these things are true

That would be a 1060/580, not a 1050Ti.

Well, you're right - currently, there's not an affordably priced GPU on the market capable of pushing 4K at acceptable framerates, despite the entire game and entertainment industry telling us otherwise. So really, @That Mason Guy should probably get a 1060 to call it safe if he's after 60FPS on ULTRA settings in most games, and wait a while longer before sinking a ton of cash into the current high-end GPU market.

1060/580. Whichever is cheaper at your store of choice

RX 570 instead of the 1050ti, you're grtting 50%more performance
