GTX 1050ti 4GB or A RX 560 4GB ?

tensa01 · Jan 2, 2018

I am building a computer with this configuration :

Motherboard : MSI A320m pro gaming
RAM : 16 GB DDR4
CPU : Ryzen 5 1500x
PSU : HEXA FSP 500w 80+
HDD : 3 HDD ( 1To , 750Go , 300 Go )
External Hard Drive : 2 ( 512 Go , 130 Go )
SSD : 120Go
Fans : 2 Case fans + amd wraith spire for CPU
Case : Coolermaster Masterbox 5 msi edition

And i'm wondering what would suit best for this config a GTX 1050ti 4GB or A RX 560 4GB ?

thanks for your help and time in advance.
have a good day

1050ti no competition. If you don't own the psu yet I recommend you swap it out. Also getting a 1500x is useless as the 1400 can be auto oc'd to the 1500x level no problem even on a 320 board. You can then also get a better psu which you really should.

Also the masterbox 5 msi edition is a bad version fo the case since airflow is really restriced in it.

Unfortunatly The HEXA Is the only good quality psu Available in my country i already looked everywhere even buying online is restricted :/

for the Case i got as a gift :v didn't buy it

for the CPU the thing is that i do not overclock lol not at all

another question please ?
is it a good choice to take a DDR3 mobo and not the DDR4 ?
Budget problem ...

and it can work with the Ryzen 1500x and the 1050ti
if so what MOBO would you recommand me ?

thanks in advance

I agree about the 1050 Ti being the better option, though it will undoubtedly cost more. The RX 560 is more of a 1050 2GB competitor. The 1060 3GB would be the next step up, though it might be out of the price range you are looking for.

As for the 1500X, it's worth pointing out that it comes with a much more capable stock cooler than the 1400. You may be able to get 1500X-like speeds out of the 1400 on its 65 watt rated Wraith Stealth cooler, but it's likely to be a lot noisier at that performance level than with the 1500X's more substantial 95 watt rated Wraith Spire cooler. The 1400 would arguably be the better option if you wanted to use a third-party tower cooler though.

Also, I might add that I believe that particular case only has two 3.5 inch drive bays, which might be an issue if you have three drives.

As for DDR3 vs. DDR4, all Ryzen motherboards require DDR4, and the same goes for all of Intel's latest CPUs.

Thanks for answering my question everyone i will keep my configuration and will get the GTX 1050ti 4Gb !

Have a good day everyone

Also, the 1500X comes with 16mb of L3 Cache, the Ryzen 1400 only has 8mb of L3 cache. Not a big difference, but according to Hardware Unboxed, the extra cache yields roughly a 5fps bonus.

TechyInAZ :

I took a moment to watch the comparison video that you're referring to, and it's worth noting that those numbers do come with some caveats. First, they were only testing some of the most CPU-intensive games, rather than the majority of games where performance tends to be less CPU bound. Second, that level of performance difference was only seen in their results when they used a 1080 Ti at 1080p, and were getting average frame rates around 100fps. In the same tests performed with an RX 480, there was virtually no difference between the two processors overclocked to the same level. With a 1050 Ti or lower card, as is being looked at here, performance is going to be even more GPU bound. So sure, that extra cache could technically make a small difference in gaming performance, but that's only likely to surface in certain scenarios when used with a high-end graphics card that outpaces the CPU at low resolutions, and is probably not particularly relevant.

But sure, I suppose the cache could potentially effect performance a bit in some future games years down the line, when performance on a similar level to the 1080 Ti is available in more moderately-priced graphics cards. Of course, the better stock cooler of the 1500X is probably a better reason to go with that CPU, especially considering that at many retailers like Amazon, there's only about a $10 difference between the two right now.
