It depends what you use your GPU for and what you expect from it, 980 is still a decent card and I haven't seen people upgrade from 980 to 1070 or higher without a reason, unless you do stuff like livestreaming or expect to run any game at high settings. I also recommend that if you do upgrade, don't upgrade to 1050 from the 980 because that's just waste of money, the 1050 is almost equivalent to a 750Ti.

Ok, but no one ever talked about upgrading to a GTX 1050 lol. Also, a GTX 1050 offers GTX 950 performance with more efficiency and a cheaper price. That's quite a step up from a 750 Ti.

He said upgrading, I was looking at every option above the 980 which also includes the 1050.

I had benchmarked MSI GTX 1050Ti 4GT LP 4GB against MSI N750Ti 2GD TLP, they're both using the same cooler and almost the same size, and theres has been a minor performance gain on the 1050ti over the 750ti, I have only seen 23% less power consumption, 9% higher overclock gain from the stock clocks and in real-time test, I only seen average 18 FPS gain and I was testing that with a i7 5820k and SuperNova G2 1000W 80 Gold and 32GB RAM. There's no reason why you should be spending 60 more bucks just for less power consumption and just couple few more fps.

No matter what anybody says, 1050Ti and equal to a 750Ti on the paper and in the real world. The only time when the 1050 will be worth buying is when people slow down with buying the 750Ti, which will mean the price will go down which is happening as we talk, so I expect the 750ti to drop down under 80 bucks in the upcoming few months which then it will be worth buying the 1050.

Sorry I'm not really even sure what you're on about, I can't make a meal out of it anyway. Maybe someone else can?

Oh my god, what are you typing? Stop trolling the forum, seriously.

If the 750 Ti hasn't dropped in price until now it won't ever. Nobody even buys the GTX 750 Ti, It's outdated. It's not an option anymore and has been replaced by the RX 460 and GTX 1050. These are the better options for a similar price. Benchmarks show significant differences in performance:
https://nl.hardware.info/reviews/7033/11/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-review-low-end-pascal-benchmarks-gta-v

This graph shows a titanious difference in gaming benchmarks between the GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 750 Ti, unluckily, GTX 1050 not benchmarked but it still easily gets beaten by the RX 460 which is around the MSRP of the GTX 750 Ti:

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card ($99.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $99.99
Video Card: Asus Radeon RX 460 2GB Dual OC Video Card ($94.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $94.99
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB ACX 2.0 Video Card ($106.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $106.99

No, like, what the hell even? These cards have never even been in a similar price branch in the first place, so they should never even be compared on the same paper. ''upgrading'' doesn't mean he views the GTX 1050 is an option, just because It's newer. They are totally irrelevant to each other in performance. I don't have a clue what you mean by this.

750Ti is outdated? 750Ti is the last most powerfull single-slot GPU you can get, people still buy them lol, the only person whos' trolling is you because you're butthurt. I have a local IT shop that I go there almost on daily basis to talk to guys who run it as they're bunch of cool guys and they have EVGA 750Ti's on the shelfs and they told me that they sell atleast 15 units a week to bunch of college kids as it's the best budget gaming card, and that's just 1 IT shop, think about the internet aswell.

750Ti hasen't dropped and it will never drop ->>>>>> First of all, it dropped $15 on Ebay and Amazon on the same day that the 10 series GPU's were released and even newegg announced they will be dropping prices on 700 and 600 series GPUs.

That's the only two argumeants that I undertood from your block of text. If you wanna keep arguing pm me, leave this guy's thread alone. I'm going to ignore any replys you post on this thread.

You can see that even the RX 460 beats the 3 years old GTX 750 Ti. So it isn't the most powerful. You went off-topic in the first place, randomly bringing a GTX 1050 into the argument and following it up by how anything stronger than the GTX 750 Ti is basically irrelevant. It's arguably one of the stupidest things I've read on here, luckily It's not from an experienced poster.

I've got nothing to argue any further.

Do you think i'm stupid? I'd obviously upgrade to a 1070 or higher. I play at ultra at around 80 fps so I think i'm fine for now then. Thanks for the reply.
