Which is the best? (GPU?)

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

Hello all,
I've recently been researching for GPUS' to upgrade my absolute trash GeForce 210 card. I found all these that interest me. which gives me the most "bang for my buck" and will the work with my mini atx case? triple fan looks badass and i think they're the best ones. my price range is between $80-$125.

The 1050 2gb cards are faster. Get the one with the best clock rates. Consider saving up another 20-25 bucks if you can as the 1050ti is where things really take off.
A Review comparing the 1050, 1050ti and the 560 so it covers all the cards you are thinking about + the TI.

Of the ones you linked to, I'd go with these:

What case?

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

its a zalman mini atx

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 4, 2017

What model?

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

bjornl :

also, the only games i play are H1Z1 and CSGO (mainly H1) but i want them to run as smooth as possible on good settings

I like the 560 4GB GPU's in that price range.

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

bjornl :

which of those 2 are better though? the 1050?

JoeMomma · Nov 4, 2017

Ryan0710 :

The Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy chart says the RX 560 is roughly equal to the GTX 1050.

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 4, 2017

Not a fan of 2gb cards.

bjornl · Nov 4, 2017

Ryan0710 :

There are a couple which fit that description.
Is it this one?

or

or

or
??

It is so that clearance can be checked.

They are identical.

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

JoeMomma :

so, you think the rx560 is better than the 1050, even though the 1050 has dual fans?

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

can one of you guys just link me the best one for an amazingly smooth gameplay of H1?

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

Okay, but are they better that the rx560 that the other guy is talking about?

samer.forums · Nov 4, 2017

for your budget , GTX 1050 is faster.

but for $140 you can get GTX 1050 ti with 4G GDDR5 which is really worth the $20 more

bjornl · Nov 4, 2017

Ryan0710 :

Read the review I posted above. It measures these cards so it is not down to opinions but framerates. I too don't really like the card. I think the 1050ti with 4gb of ram is a much better choice, if you can swing the 143.

Thank you sooo much man, you help is much appreciated and ill remember you

i think im gonna go with this 1050 ti you linked me to! thanks!! btw, this will run H1 well... right?

Ryan0710 · Nov 4, 2017

Lastly, upgrading my gpu to a 1050 ti, will it change my gameplay overall eventhough im running an intel pentium? remember, i only play H1Z1 and CSGO...

My son runs the 1050ti and plays just about everything and almost all of his games are run at fairly high (or ultra) settings. He plays on a 60hz monitor, so long as you're shooting for 60fps this card should get you there. It is by far the fastest card that is under $199.90.
-- update
You never mentioned your CPU until after I started writing the above. The Pentium will be your limiting factor. It will slow things down a little. Should be ok in CS, might occasionally stutter in h1.

Which Pentium do you have? What motherboard do you have?

I have the pentium g4400 and my motherboard is the MSI H170M-A PRO

Ryan0710 :

That is newer and better than I expected. It is a skylake. I would try it before you decide if you need an upgrade.
It will probably be ok.
