Hi BlackKnight,

The question you should be asking yourself is the following, ''If you bought the 1050Ti, what drives you to buy another brand new card like the 1060 6GB?''. People either buy video cards for great performance in game, great graphics or simply to run the game. I think that yes the 1050 TI is a low-end graphic card but hey, if your just looking to make the specs on a low budget and want to play games for a little time i think you should be fine. I runned a 650TI for a couple years because i didn't care for the high graphics, just wanted to run the game smoothly. I have recently upgraded to the GTX1060 6GB and it is a great card no doubt about that.

So my 10 cents on this would be, make sure that you wanna change for the right reasons...unless you have money on hands to spend, but then again you could get a 1080

Cheers.

It is 84% slower than GTX 1060. It is what it is - an entry level gaming GPU.

What brand is it BlackKnight? If its an EVGA card they offer a step up program with their cards. Also you could always return/exchange it depending on how long ago you bought it. Most stores will allow you to return video cards with out a receipt if its not online and offer you store credit.

I bought it on newegg.ca i will check out their return policy. its MSI. to be honest i like the card, but if i can return it for a 1060 and only pay some of the difference ill definitely try :)

You might actually want to get the RX480 8GB if you want just a bit more horsepower in BF1. It's DX12 performance outshines that of the 1060 6GB, and the extra 2GB of Vram is almost required for 1080p gaming even. I hit 6 GB playing GTA:V on Ultra at 1080p...

i was looking at the 1070 evga :)

You would def see a performance increase if you were to jump to a 1070. And EVGA offers step up program, normal and you can purchase extended step up as well and down the road u can buy a brand new card for the difference and send your 1070 to evga. But you have to register the card with in 30 days of purchase and a normal step up is 90 days i think. I forget how long the extended is but I think its well worth it if you plan on trying to up it to the best you can while trying to conserve what you spend
