would it be a stupid choice to upgrade to 1060 6gb from 1050ti?

At the current prices, it is not a worthy upgrade.

You should upgrade to something like a 1070 if you're unhappy with your 1050ti's performance. There's nothing wrong with owning a 1050ti, so no, don't feel bad.

 

You will see a performance boost with a 1060, but it won't be that incredible, plus GPU prices are a mess right now.


Lastly, if you worked to earn your GPU you should feel proud to own it, not feel bad about it.

@StanicEnemy At current prices for even a second hand 1060GB, I'd say it's not worth it considering what you would expect to get it you sold your 1050. It isn't a good time to upgrade right now in general.

Currently, we are only a few months away from the launch of Nvidia’s next generation of graphics cards, so I’d suggest you wait until you can buy a next-gen card.

I think my i5 4440 won't be strong enough to feed up 1070 right? in my country gpu prices are double right now 1060 and above.To be honest i have saved alot of money to get that 1050 ti,everything is expensive in my country,thank you.

Why are you contemplating upgrading?

I just feel bad for having 1050ti thats something stupid of me.

It basically double your FPS. So if you can sell that 1050 ti to adsorb a chunk of the cost, might make sense.

I do get 40-50 fps and lowest 30fps in ac origins,so if i had 1060 i would get 60 or 70 fps right then?

Nope, even my system couldnt get that due to CPU bottleneck when overclocked

1060 6gb roughly 1.5-2x the power of 1050ti.

so it won't be a stupid upgrade.

1050ti can do 60fps in medium, 30ish in ultra.

60fps ultra in 1060 should be a breeze.

so the question is whether you want / need ultra + more than 60fps.

 

what stupid is if you buy the 1060 at 3x msrp price.

That's really amazing.

I don't know why you'd feel bad for owning a 1050 Ti. It's hardly a lemon, and you don't need anything more for 1920x1080. 

Pardon me but what does hardly a lemon mean?

1060 is 2500 TL ( Turkish Lira) and 1050ti is 900 TL here in Turkey like you said its at 3x price at the moment.

that's how demanding the game is. In crowded areas the frame rates just dips below 60 no matter what
