amd 7970 vs gtx1050ti

[Frank ツ]

Hello, a friend of mine has a pc with a 7600k and a gtx1050ti
He is playing on 1080p 144hz.

He want to upgrade but hes not sure and i have a spare 7970 laying around wich i could sell him for very cheap for the time being.
What do you guys think of that, would it be worth it?

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Not worth it, GTX 1050 Ti is better.
Tell him to get GTX 1660 Super or better.

[Frank ツ]

yeah thats why i thought, i also recommended him to just buy a complete new pc

[A&A]

GTX 1050 TI is better, sometimes GTX770 is better than HD7970

[Frank ツ]

but he just has a 4 core, i think it would be better just to get a complete new pc with atleast a 8 core or something

7970 is not too far off from performance from a 1050 ti
but what the 1050 does with 75w destorys the 250w 7970

they are basically swapping core count for core performance and ram bandwidth for ram speed

Why dont t just update his cpu and ram ???

Look for a used 1070, it will give plenty of fps and will hold up a few more years. You can usually find a used 1070 for around 200$. it really is a damn good card for that price.

1080ti is better than RTX 2060 for almost the same money

1660 super is kinda pointless too...


get a 3060 or 3070

Good luck finding them in store when they are released. The 3080, and 3090 were sold out in 5 mins.

What is your friends budget? The 7970 is ancient.

Lol in my country still exists all types RTX around 3000$-4500$

if near a microcenter, check their open box
many are warranty exchanges for gpu upgrades

pick store location at the top

I check everyday. None of them are in stock in my region. Scalpers are selling them double or triple the price. Plus some stores, are charging 900 to 1000 for them.

Kudos for you for obtaining them, but i had no such luck. And i'm not prepared to pay 200 to 300 extra over the MSRP.

OP's in NL so Microcenter isnt possible

And i agree, the 3060 whenever it comes out will be snatched up like its big brothers were so something more readily available would be best.

7970 isnt an upgrade
And it has 1GB VRAM less than the 1050 Ti
More of a downgrade
The power requirements by itself kinda makes it a downgrade

He should save up for a more direct upgrade.
