Nick Chapple Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hello!! I'm a big gamer playing eso and black desert online. Anymore I've been lagging in the games and getting pretty slow loading rates. Right now I'm running an evga gtx 760. I was thinking about upgrading to this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M5BQRIO/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1507139392&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=evga+geforce+gtx+1050+ti&dpPl=1&dpID=51zT01KVBEL&ref=plSrch I was curious if that graphics card would be a big enough change to see a difference? I'm currently running with an amd quad core processor 3.2 ghz and 16 gb ddr3 ram. I was hoping this card would be a much better advantage overall or if it's not too much greater?

xendrome Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Can your system support a 1060 3GB instead? Just a bit more and about 25% to 30% performance over a 1050 ti http://a.co/1zttrMM https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=3566&cmp[]=3595 patseguin and Mockingbird 1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I would recommend the Geforce GTX 1060 3GB You can get one for ~$200 ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 3GB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KKJAJM4/ EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GAMING https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KUADE3O/ Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 3GB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KQUD9U6/ corrosive23 and patseguin 1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Chapple Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have a 450W power supply would that work on the 1060? Also silly question but how would I know if it's compatible with my motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on how good of a power supply it is, but NVIDIA recommends a 400W power supply https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/ If your motherboard has a PCIe slot (and it probably does), the graphic card would work.

Also silly question but how would I know if it's compatible with my motherboard? If your computer's PSU can handle a GTX760 ... it most certainly can handle a 1060. But either the 1050ti or 1060 will give you a much needed boost. I would also recommend the 1060 if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Chapple Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Guess I'm getting a 1060 thank you!! One more question though, my gtx 760 has 4gb gddr5 while the 1060 has 3gb, what about it makes it much better with less gddr memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patseguin Global Moderator Posted October 4, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2017 Not sure if you're interested, but I am selling a new condition Zotac 1070 Founder's Edition. I'll let you have it for the same price as that 1060 you are looking at. PM me if interested. xendrome and Brandon H 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mirumir Subscriber¹ Posted October 7, 2017 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hello! It's not worth it. You'd be going from place 55 to 52 in the speed rank. You should consider 1060 (ranked 17th) instead if you want to make yourself a present Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
