What is the best version of the GTX 1050 Ti?

RadeonProVega · Dec 11, 2016

I plan to buy this https://www.pny.com/geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-xlr8-gaming-overclocked-edition?sku=VCGGTX1050T4XGPB-OC to go with an I7 in 3 months. (plan to use it with my e8400 though in the mean time). I only use pny products btw

I see. So what would be the best GPU for me (with a new PSU) at the around $200 range?

This after Rebate is $179.
There is no better 4GB RX 480 on the market.
I own the 8GB version, and it has all the features of an Enthusiast high-tier card, including Dual BIOS Memory:

Thank you. Seems like there is an adaptor, the HP 6 pin to ATX adaptor that will let me use any PSU. Might go with a GTX 1060 since its better than the Rx480?

One note about the PCI Express power adapter: Just because you are able to use an adapter doesn't mean that your PSU has enough spare wattage to support the video card under load. Read this article for the details, then check your power supply's label for its maximum effective power output.

Earlier, you said that your PC has a proprietary PSU. Without knowing the brand/model of your PC, it's impossible to suggest a replacement PSU (assuming that one even exists...).

I was thinking out of the case for the PSU but without knowing if the MB has an ATX 24 pin connector to use an adapter so the second PSU could power on.

The computer is probably a HP.

I previously suggested a 430w PSU based on the specs you posted, but that sale is over now.
Since most members seem to prefer more power than they need, and because someone has suggested you may not have enough juice to run the new card, here is a 500w PSU:

The chances are the built-in PSU is better than this junk.

If you don't mind, tell us why, and also make another suggestion.

OEM ( not the Best but usually cheapest Adequate for standard system probably round about 350w ).
V. a 80 PLUS Certified EVGA Suitable for an upgraded system Yeh

Makes me curious what hardware (junk?) you have yourself....
You don't even make your own system specs visible...

Built-in/OEM powersupplies are usually made by either Delta, FSP or Seasonic. A basic EVGA would be a side-grade at best (Since it's made by HEC).

It might not be though, considering its proprietary but still.

I agree with this comment about power supplies in OEM machines. The last few OptiPlex small form factor's I've dealt with had both seasonic and FSP power supplies and although they were very low wattage they were also very high-quality and quite capable ...far from some of the junk power supplies you might find or might think you would find. Keep in mind if they put crap power supplies in these machines they have to service them so it's counterintuitive for them to put junk inside these machines ... it's a surprising balance between cost-effective production and cost effective service prediction

The OEM PSU is a 320 watt "chicony" psu. It will be changed to a cheaper non modular EVGA.

At around the same price point (I have always chosen NVIDIA) would I be better off with an RX480 or a GTX 1060 3GB? I just want the most power for my limited budget and you guys are all a great help

yotano211 · Dec 11, 2016

The rx 480 is the bigger bang for the buck.

Why? I'm not doubting you pal haha I just like to know why? This is a lot of money lol

the rx 470 or 480 gets better performance for your money.

Check out some reviews about these cards and compare them for yourself and then decide!!

Was already pointed out there, but from quality perspective it's a sidegrade at best, compared to common OEM units. Sure, some extra watts there but on an ancient platform, low-quality internals, and all-round as cheap as it gets-type of construction. With this hotter 80+ model, they removed some heatsinks that were there in the Bronze-rated sister unit, just for the sake of saving a few cents. The definition of planned obsolescence.

Although it should work more than OK for an unimportant low-power office PC if not DOA, it's not something that should be paired with an overclocked RX 480. Please spend just a bit of extra on S12 II unit that will outlive the whole system, or at the very least the 500B model.

Ungari · Dec 11, 2016

@Smanci
Thanks for your explanation, I was hoping you would link to what you thought was best for the cost though.

@AntDeek
Nvidia should have called it a GTX 1055 because it's not just less VRAM, the 3GB version has cutdown CUDA from the 6GB 1060 making it a very deceptive naming convention.
I already posted a link comparing the 6GB 1060 to the 8GB RX 480, it would be really great if you would read the replies to your topic.
As P4-630 said, there are literally hundreds of reviews on GFX perfomance, and several on this site.

SomeOne99h · Dec 11, 2016

Excuse me AntDeek, just want to share: I second Nokiron, jboydgolfer and Smanci. I am using a pre-built HP, it uses a Delta powersupply. So yeah, OEM PSUs doesn't mean junk.
