Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

A 1050 is 21% faster than than a RX 460. If you can afford the 1050, I'd get that.

Hello!

 

I want to upgrade my gpu for gaming at 1080p at 30-60 fps on games like Overwatch and Battlefeild 1 on mid-high settings.

The choices I have are the RX 460,550,560 and Gtx 1050 ti.

But I don't know what are the average prices for these Gpus, and I don't want to get scammed, so I want to know what are the averge prices for those Gpus.
