my specs are
amd fx 6300
asus m5a78l-m/usb3
1tb wd hdd
sapphire r7 360 nitro 2gb ddr5
8*2 gb ddr3 1866mhz ram

i generally play in 1366*768 or 1600*900 resolution. I have shortlisted zotac gtx 1050 ti oc 4gb , zotac gtx 1060 mini 3 gb and rx 470 4 gb. i would generally like to play at high-ultra settings with 45 -50 fps.

Can anyone suggest me a good among the three which is budget friendly as well as help me to decide among the three. Can i select any one of the three? And what about zotac gtx 1050 ti oc , will it be a good upgrade from what i have ? i do not want to purchase a new gpu for the upcoming 4-5 years. Also, i am from india and here are the pricing,

If you're going to be playing at sub-1080p resolutions, you don't need anything above a GTX 1050 (not GTX 1050 Ti). However, if you want to be futureproof, I recommend the GTX 1050 Ti. Anything above a 1050 Ti will outpace your CPU and cause bottlenecks. If you will upgrade your processor in the coming months, then get the RX 470. There's no point in getting the GTX 1060, as there is too little VRAM.

Summary:
-I recommend GTX 1050
-If you will play at 1080p in the future, then get the GTX 1050 Ti
-If you will upgrade your CPU and play at 1080p in the future, then get the RX 470
-If you want to waste money, get the GTX 1060 3GB

the gtx 1050's are known for running cool, the g1's are great maybe a few issues with coil whine



and vram is pointless if you cant use it, at those low resolutions it is completely wasted
 


i am talking about the radeon g1 gaming cards. the gtx series r good but have coil whine like u said.

 


the prob with 1060 is its not sli capable. 470>1050ti imo.
that sapphire is just the oc version of the refernce card. its nitro series has better overall performance....

there is no such thing, your setup is already obsolete


you buy as much gpu power as you can afford, a rx 470 is not a bad option if you want to keep it for a long time

be aware that it will mostly be wasted because cpu matters most as such low resolutions, and like i said yours is already obsolete
