The fact arguments can be made for those GPUs despite a lower perf/dollar is simply the truth, and in this segment, we're talking about price gaps that are not as significant as they are higher up, its not a big deal to spend 50 bucks more on a card that prevents you from having to upgrade a PSU, for example. I think that is a display of a lot more nuance and common sense than you'd read on TH. On the other hand, that topic also contained the idea that the Nvidia budget/lower midrange offers lower power GPUs that are often easier to fit in smaller / lighter builds. And in that, certain people jump to the conclusion it is some strange Nvidia bias, without any evidence for it, though of course branding/mindshare plays a major role. The argument being made is that Nvidia has more sales in the midrange with inferior product - as in, less perf/dollar. In that sense, this is really old news, we've had a topic about this already from the same OP. Case in point is this topic - the comparison of AMD"s midrange with Nvidia's and how it relates price/performance to sales numbers. If they don't want to do that, I'd fall back on the GTX1050.īut it IS true. If not, see if they're open to upgrading the power supply, and whatever else might come with that. If I was recommending a graphics card to somebody, first I'd check if their power supply could handle it. The GTX1050 should work in almost any computer. To put a beefy graphics card in there, you would also need a new power supply, along with a new board and chassis! That basically equates to upgrading half the computer. I've recently seen the most proprietary crap ever from an HP computer, with a weird motherboard that had far from standard ATX power supply hookups, and the board itself was far from a standard ATX board. For someone who just wants to game on a crappy Dell with an equally crappy power supply, not so much. Perhaps the reason the GTX1050 was chosen over the RTX570 was because most of them don't even require a PCI-E power connector? I'd take the RX570 over the GTX1050 too, but I already have more than enough power supply to feed it. Well, they do have the RX580 as "best 1080p gaming".
