Hey. I've got i5-4460 @ 3.40GHz CPU paired with MSI's GTX 750 Ti 2GB. I've had this cofiguration for past almost 2 years and I realized that 750ti is becoming a shit for brand new upcoming games, plus it has been bottlenecking my 4460 all the time, so finally decided to get better GPU.
I've found 2 cards for a very, very fair price that suits for me:
Option 1: ASUS Strix OC edition GTX 970 4GB GDDR5
Option 2: ASUS Cerberus GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5
I know, 970 is inarguably better by performance. But I have slight fear of regretting if I get 970 since new nvidia's Pascal architecture brings better optimization in new games & apps + Nvidia might stop publishing latest drivers for 9xx series, so I'm afraid what to do about it.
Afterall, the best possible solution would be GTX 1060 6GB. It has both efficient core speed & VRAM, and the brand new Pascal thingy.
But unfortunately, that card is over 270€ in my country and it'd be pretty hard for me to afford one. (Of course, considering to sell my current gtx750ti and spare more and get one of these)
So... What's your thoughts on this? What would you change? Thanks in advance.
P.S. Would it bottleneck my 4460 at all? I've done some research and some people claim it would so. Really? And finally, I have some chinese 500W PSU. Do I need more than 500W for this gpu? Thanks again!
