Buying new GPU for 1366x768 monitor

AncientAlien · Jun 11, 2018

Hey guys,

I wanna buy a new GPU after my R9 270x has died few months ago.
I don't know should i buy ASUS Cerberus GTX 1050 Ti 4GB [90YV0A75-M0NA00] or ROG Strix RX560 4GB [90YV0AH1-M0NA00] and is it overkill to buy any of these GPU's since my monitor's max resolution is 1366x768 ?
Will i get similar performance with med/high settings for newer games with my resolution as it is with some of the lower priced GPU's like ASUS RX550 4GB [90YV0AG4-M0NA00] or GTX 1050 2GB [90YV0AA0-M0NA00] ?

Specs:

CPU: i5 4460 @ 3.2 GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz
PSU: Raidmax 600AF
MOBO: Gigabyte B85-HD3
HDD: 500GB

since the 1050Ti is better than a 960 (both 4GB) i can play most of my games on my AMD FX8320 on med, at minimum, with max distance for objects, at 1920x1200 so a 1050/RX560 would be good to future proof yourself if you aren't someone who isn't a gotta have a 60fps at max settings.

Technically speaking, the 1050 should be a more ideal upgrade for you, unless you are changing screen anytime soon. The resolution and refresh rate of your monitor wont let you fully utilize the benefits of a higher card. If you plan to change to a 1080p monitor down the line, then the 1050ti should be a better buy for now.
The 1050ti can give you a few frames more, but the difference is not worth the money you pay,at your current resolution.

Buy the best GPU you can afford. If that is the 1050ti, then go for it. Have you though about buying a 1080p monitor? You can get an inexpensive 24" monitor for half the price of a 1050ti.
