Sell my RX 480 or GTX 1050TI

peanuts104

Long story short, I just purchased an RX 580 off of craigslist for a good damn deal.   That leaves me with an option.  My HTPC in my living room is currently running a GTX 1050TI.  It's a pretty decent RX 480 variant, the Powercolor Red Devil, though mine wasn't a great overclocker.  The RX 580 is replacing an RX 480.  Should I:

 

A) Sell the GTX 1050 TI on craigslist and put the RX 480 on my HTPC (power draw is not a major concern of mine)

 

B) Sell the RX 480 on craigslist, presumably for more than I could get for the GTX 1050 TI, and recoup most of the purchase of the RX 580

OR

C) Put both on craigslist and see which one goes for the most?

 

Probably C, but dealing with two different ads is annoying because...well, I'm lazy.

You don't think the performance difference between the two warrants holding onto the RX 480?

If it's just a HTPC, you might as well run it off an iGPU.

It's running off of an i5  6600...and the mobo and CPU don't support 4k playback on a variety of platforms, which is why I got the 1050 TI to begin with (**** you hollywood).

Seriously? I was able to run 4K movies on my old i5 6600 but only on SSD, my mayor concern were my old HDDs. Maybe an AMD 2200G? Even the GT 1030 could run 4K movies. You can always post on the NAS and HTPC forum for more info. 

The issue might also just be that the mobo doesn't have an hdmi 1.4 or higher port. If you want HDR you also need an hdmi 2.0b, and a gpu is guaranteed way to get those with no possible cpu based hiccups.

It's not the hardware, it's the HDMI and hardware support for Netflix 4k and other services, etc.  Hence my **** hollywood comment.  It has little to do with the ability of the hardware and everything to do with the hardware being "compliant" among various erroneous standards streaming.  Fortunately, both my RX 480 and my GTX 1050 TI seem to meet the requirements.
