GTX 680 vs GTX 1050 Ti mini?

[Cmd. Kolya]

Just a quick question,
I got an Ryzen 5 2600x and currently no money for a "New" GPU, so I'm wondering what is better, a GTX 680 or a 1050 Ti mini (from Zotac), the 680, if it matters, is from Sparkle 'Dragonforce'. Bottleneck calc says I got a b-neck of 100% with the 1050 ti, but just 3% with the 680. 680 has 2gb gddr5 and 1050 has 4. I'm currently running on lowest settings with 90% render resolution on 1080p and still get lag here and there, it just doesn't feel smooth, instead it feels..spongy. When I got my 1050 ti I felt no difference to the 680 in other games.

Well, I just retried my 680 after years and weirdly enough, the game ran with more fps and smoother, only issue was the reduced gpu-ram for the settings aaaand..that the gpu made weird noises through my speakers once some load got onto it.

Well, strictly speaking gtx 680 has higher memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s, and 1050 ti mini has 112.1 GB/s. It also has more cores and these things may actually matter in some games.
I have found myself in the same situation years ago when swapped gt 9800 for 550 ti.
Though 1050 ti is better for newer titles since it supports dx 12 and vulkan, it may very well loose to 680 in situations when memory amount is not an issue and game runs on older api.

As said, only problem I'm not using my 680 right now is due to the weird sounds and cus it easily overheats..

Just pick up a 1060 if you can, they aren't that expensive these days. Especially if you can buy one on sale.. I'm using a gtx 1060 6gb from zotac and can play most stuff without issues.
