GTX 1050Ti vs GTX 1060 3gb

Tom-B · Oct 27, 2016

Hi. I am currently in the process of building a mid-range gaming PC and wondering if I should buy the GTX 1050Ti, or the 3gb edition of the 1060.
Here is my current build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZPXhjc
Thanks for any responses.

The GTX 1060 will be quite a bit more powerful.

The 1060 is a much better card, being able to play at max details in most games at 1080p. The 1050 will only be able to play games at medium detail at 1080

Tom-B :

Depends on the money you want to expend and the games and resolutions you want to handle....
I would go for a 1060 for 1080p at max or a simple 1050 (no-ti) for lower resolution or settings....
.....And drop the AMD for a Inter i3/i5 Cpu

Would the gtx 1060 not be a better choice?

if you can stretch your budget, yes

VRAM has little to do with how powerful the card is so yes, even the 3GB version.

May be a slight stretch, but still easily worth the money for the CPU upgrade. Also, an H170 board would be a nice to have if you can afford it.

"am3 is a dead end" no, but your brain is. Am3+ is the best budget socket out there, and the fact that you don't know that means you shouldn't be commenting here. Intel fan boys are the worst. They don't know anything but they always wanna talk... The am3+ socket can run literally any game at 4k full settings with the right video card. Trust me, I do it daily. The cpu isn't tha even that important anymore. It's all about the video card, and saving money on the cpu let's your spend more on the video card. Just build what you want and ignore the Intel fanboys.
