Hey I want to buy new gpu bt the price is too high.
Want to buy rx 470 , that totally out of stock and in that budget I'm now getting gtx 1050 ti ..

Should I wait for rx 570 price to drop or just buy gtx 1050 ti 4gb..

Thanks in advance....

ETH won't matter for much longer. When VRAM requirements passed 2 GB it knocked out a bunch of cards. It'll pass 3 GB soon and 1060 3 GB's have already started falling. ETH is committed to shifting from PoW to PoS mining at some point which should kill ROI for GPU's. Once all that happens, all the existing ETH mining rigs will have to shift to some other currency. I'd anticipate incredible volatility at that time, and no one with any sense would be making huge capital investments in tons of new GPU's.

Of course, a lot of people have way more money than sense...

No one really knows when the GPU prices will drop because Etherium prices are very volatile. Until Etherium requires proof of stake, I would assume the GPU pricing to remain high.

There is not a huge difference in the 470/570 from the 1050ti, so I would go ahead and get one and enjoy.

Errr what? No. The RX 470 and 570 are significantly faster than the 1050ti

OP unfortunately you just have to keep your eye out these days, Etherium mining hopefully will be less lucrative sooner than later which will make these mid range gpus more available.
