With my current setup i can barely run fallout 4 at 30 fps outside, inside its around 40-50 but it stutters frequently, also, wont it be more worth it because its newer model = more support? and also doesnt nvidia cards have high overhead for cpu, so games that need CPU wont stress it as much as a amd GPU would let it?

Im about 60% sure a 1050 TI will fix my issues, not 100% yet tho

P.S i play fallout 4 on the lowest of the low settings, even have an ultra low mod installed but it doesnt help much, 4 fps boost?

I've always gone with Nvidia. EVGA for most cards, but did purchase a lowprofile MSI 750ti b/c EVGA didn't off one, and.. will do the same with the MSI Low profile 1050ti. I do agree with what you said, about newer cards having much better support and optimizaition. But at the same time, on that hierarchy chart, one of the things they used to write on it was that you need to go up like 2 tiers to have a noticable difference. Additionally, it should always be noted that, some games perform better on AMD hardware, and others perform better on Nvidia hardware. I think i would look up all the games you play, and see how the 1050ti performed on those games specifically and what settings.

Ye i've been looking at some benchmarks beforehand and i noticed it uses vulcan better than amd, so games like DOOM runs tons better, also most games on the benchmark get like 10-15 fps boost + even more fps on games that have high support with nvidia, most games that have good amd support i dont play like dues ex for example.

I mainly play open world games like witcher and skyrim, a bit of FPS like battlefield, which also unplayable at 1080p medium-high

Fallout 4 won't improve much because the game depends a lot on CPU power. With a better graphics card you'll still be running around 30 fps.

Its really weird, i run witcher 3 at 30-40 just fine at high with some cpu intensive effects lowered a little and skyrim heavy modded with 2k textures and shit load of script mods and it runs just find at 40-50 fps in towns and 60 fps outside (riften is the most modded city and it gets 30- 40fps (most areas, more often than not its 60 fps, may dip to 40 somewhere) and in dungeons is also 60 ALL the time

A couple of things to do: One, run Fallout 4 at lowest settings, lowest resolution. Did your framerate go up, and if it did, did it go up a lot? If no, then you are CPU limited. The other thing you could do is use MSI Afterburner to show you CPU and GPU usage while you play Fallout 4 as you normally would. Is either usage at or near 100%? If the CPU is that high it's also proof your CPU is what's holding you back.

I personally would not consider 370 to 1050 Ti a big enough jump to justify spending $140 on it, but that's how I view these things. Am I getting $140 of extra performance? If no, I don't buy.

A change from 1080p to 720p made gave a nice fps boost, nothing crazy like double fps, 15-20 fps+ maybe? When i look at city i drop back to what i had in 1080p when i dont look at city
