AMD Readying an Answer to GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

[FordGT90Concept]

That is a pretty big gap between 470 and 460.

Apparently they are flogging an even more cut down chip in China, the RX 470D

I think the real answer to any of these plethora of mid-range cards is to just squeeze couple more bucks out of your wallet. Which shouldn't be that difficult, pizza pockets anyone?

True, within this price range a few more bucks usually net a significant increase in performance (unlike at the high end). The problem is while on a budget, there's always a cut-off point.
Otherwise any buying decision would go like:
1. let me get a cheap video card
2. that RX460 looks good for $99
3. no, at $109 the GTX 1050 is faster; that's just $10 more
4. yeah, no, for $139 the GTX1050Ti is even faster; hm, $30 more, a bit of stretch, but it's worth it for the performance gains
5. no, wait, for $169 I can have the RX 470; add $30
6. ah, look at that shiny RX480 4GB/GTX 1060 3GB for the low price of $199; +$30
7. nope, at $229 the RX480 8GB is a better buy; +$30
8. oh wait, I can have the GTX 1060 6GB for only $249; add $20.
9. stop, because the next price jump is quite steep.

Feel free to remind me of my mistake in the future if I am wrong.

And I will remember to laugh at you're rejection of common sense when it turns out I was right.

And here I am, reminding you of your mistake. This new card cannot be 20-30% faster than the 1050Ti, because the fully fledged RX470 is only 25% faster. See: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1050_Ti_Gaming_X/27.html
There you have it.
