WHAT TYPE OF GRAPHICS CARD DO I HAVE TO GO FOR

I'm rocking an all AMD PC,but one exception being the Graphics Card. I was up to lite gaming, so I casually went for a 1050 Ti. But later on, it turned out not to be quite capable[for what I used it for] I gradually went up high in terms of my needs, I upgraded to Ryzen 5 1600x from Ryzen 3 1200 and doubled the memory from 8 gigs to 16. And by the time now, I am looking forward to mining some cryptocurrencies and do some graphical mathworks. As that of no doubt I need a better Graphics but I'm limited against my budget as well. And I don't know why, for apparent reasons, my graphics card isn't happening to be handing with how my CPU does. Frame Rate issues keeping on happening in games like are not super demanding. Is this probably that I have to get a RADON equivalent to 1060? 


I REALLY NEED HELP FROM YOU GUYS...

Mining is a waste with one GPU.

That combo is fairly capable. What settings, what games, what resolution?

no you run cards in multi gpu setup which is not sli/crossfire for mining...

The profit with 1 GPU is very low and not worth it really. Some mining farms have hundrets of GPUs.

Going from Ryzen 3 to 5 was a waste of money in first place. And what are the games where you struggle with performance ?

I'm not all about gaming. Like I said, I casually sometimes play some. I do video encoding, edit 4K and those of the extreme multitasking things. Mostly for anything, I'm more intended into CPU performance than anything. I also do Mathworks. It has to be fast enough to keep track of the statistical points of a very complex geometrical system in differential and riemann geometry. I need GPU performance for Mining certainly.

For mining 1050 Ti wont cut it, thats for sure, either buy overpriced RX 470 or better, or research what types mine well on Nvidia and get GTX 1060
