Hi forum!
I was planning to buy a new graphics card and I was going to choose between the gtx 1050 ti and the RX 470 but I am afraid the latter may be severely bottlenecked by my processor FX-6300. Which one should I choose?

Just go with the 470 mate , absolutely no reason not to.
You may be CPU limited at points but you'll be able to up the graphics settings substantially with the 470 compared to the 1050ti.

The singular circumstance I'd recommend the 1050/1050ti (like the 750ti before it) it for people who have limited budgets & low quality/low wattage power supplies


As long as you have a PSU that can manage the 470?? You're good.

Eventhough you have a bottleneck, a better GPU will always provide better overall performance. If your CPU is a bottleneck for a 1050ti, it is of course a bottleneck for RX 470 but it will perform better with the better GPU anyway.

I'm not familiar with AMD processors, but if you are attempting to use a RX 470 with a processor giving similar performance to i3s, I have done some benchmark videos with my i3 4160 you can check from my signature down there. If you have money for both 1050Ti and 470, definitely get the 470, it is a great GPU, using MSI 4GB one right now.

well in my personal opinion the RX 470 is already too powerful for the FX 6300
I have the same CPU and after look around I decide to go for the GTX 1050 ti 4GB
and since I don't overclock my CPU
I will probably be unable to fully utilized the GTX 1050 ti full potential
btw the GTX 1050 ti 4GB is cheaper and power consumption is lower that the RX 470
Overall I always fulfill my ideology such is; gaming doesn't need to be expensive ;)
if then I win the lottery it would be totally a different story
but until then I stay with the cheap stuff..! :vendredi:
oh BTW my video card upgrade
is from a R7 250x 2GB to a GTX 1050 ti 4GB
so is going to be around +120% more powerful of the R7250x :gun:
so I take it and be happy about it...!!:bounce:
