I sold my RX 480 8gb card when the mining craze was happening because I wasn't really using it. I would now like to get back to gaming but i only have a my intel hd graphics 530. I have about 260€ left but i would like to not spend everything. I could get the 1060 3gb for 200€ and the 1050 Ti for 140€. I'm planing to buy the next midrange GPU once it releases and prices are at MSRP, so this is like a placeholder in the meantime. I don't need it to run everything at ultra that's why I'm contemplating on saving myself 60 bucks and getting the 1050 Ti. Benchmarks don't show a real use case instead they only choose a preset and leave it at that. I like to optimize my settings for 60 fps to look as good as possible. With this you can get a boost in fps without making the game look a lot worse than ultra. So what I'm asking is basically if the 1050 Ti can run games at a mixture of medium,high and ultra settings at 60 fps or if I should get the 1060 for that. As for the games I'm gonna be playing. I will probably play some Witcher 3, DA Inquisition, Shadow of War later this year, and maybe some other games that catch my attention.
