You've clearly made your mind up which is better, even in the face of logic. So enjoy your 1050, for the rest of the people wanting best FPS/£ the RX 470 will be a much better card that should ensure greater longevity - the 470 supports Async computing for a start, the 1050? Nope. With DX12 and Vulkan games the Amd will also continue to outperform it handsomely.

Here's a decent objective overview:

Your comment about sync, well it may be relevant to the Nvidia users who have to pay £100 premium for the technology, but for Freesync AMD users, this end of the market is exactly what the technology is there to support, lower FPS cards that may otherwise suffer from tearing and stutters - go read about Freesync and LFC so you're aware.

You're trying to justify this card over a 470 which trumps its in every respect for TDP but even then either Frame/Watt, or Frame/£ it silences the 1050.

Unless you need a LP card, there is no point buying a 1050.





Buy whatever you like :laughing:

At what? Heating your room up? Chances are if the 470 drops, then this will drop. And if you only have a weedy PSU, or like me have a HTPC where heat output must be minimal, and my case is low profile too, and you need the highest efficiency in FPS/w as possible then that pretty much rules out any AMD card made since the 7000 series.

I use moonlight / trinus a lot on my phone too with VR headset, won't work with AMD.

Besides, AMD haemorrhaging money, they can't afford to do a price cut.

omg it is here!!!!!!!! hmmmmmmmmmmmmm have 750ti.... could get a quad core q6600 or q8400 for 60 to 80 quid from ebay and give that and my 750ti to my son... and get this.... shall I? don't need....just play xcom 2. but....... (i have small form factor viglen business pc with i5 and small psu)

need to check if fits in small.form factor pc. cheers for posting!!

would this be worth an upgrade from my pny 660ti?

Will this card be a waste of money if I pair it with my AMD 5800K CPU (With integrated APU)?

this is a hot price as other places around 160 mark!

benchmarks here!!!

I would get an rx 470 if I were you as you can handle the power?

I can't as only small form factor business pc.

Meant to be on par with the 960, which is still decent at 1080. Really want to pick one of these up and build a tiny console killer for upstairs.

Nice find, This card should work with any of the shelf store PC as it only takes power from the PCIx16 slot. Great if you only have a small power supply, should be able to work with 240w and above although it does state 300w is recommended.
