Hi, i am building a pc to play arma 3 and i am trying to choose the right gpu. The cpu will be i5 6500. I have to choose from these:

1.Gigabyte GTX 1050Ti Windforce OC
2.Asus ROG Strix RX 470
3.Asus GTX 1050Ti ROG Strix
4.EVGA GTX 1050Ti SC

I need help to find the best card for me, the prices are almost the same, but I would like to know which one is the best. I think I read here on tomshardware that the RX 470 strix is not a very good card and has design problems, and I have also read that AMD cards are not very good with arma. But also I see many people say that it's better than 1050ti. And true the 1050ti must be a little disappointing, but i think that they are still not bad and would like your opinion about which one of these is the best, and also if it is good enough in general. From what I know gpu is not very important in arma, but I want to have a card that can play games that need a good gpu as well. What is your opinion for these?

I thought Arma was a very CPU dependent game.
anyways an RX470 should provide better overall performance and usable life. Plus you get Freesync which will help you when getting a monitor upgrade down the line. all new screen are coming out with Freesync and Gsync monitors are more expensive and not worth for a 1050Ti.

hello, thanks for your answer. So you are saying that the 470 that I can buy (which is not very good) will be better than all the 1050ti cards even in arma 3? And about the price, they are a little bit different in my country.
