Need to upgrade my 1050ti to a better graphic card
Posted by Working-Gap-3956@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 9 comments
So I got a 1050ti pc paired with 16 gb ram and an intel i5 9500. Now problem is I got Forza horizon 6 but I m having to play at low settings and still getting 40 fps max. So I got less money and i was thinking if i could change it to a better card and perhaps run games better. I m thinking 3050 or sum. I was also thinking to upgrade my motherboard which is very outdated since it has no Bluetooth and WiFi thing. So if I change the motherboard will i have to change the Processer aswell? Cuz i actually do not want to do it since its over the budget and i would rather use those funds to get more storage. ALSO IF I M DOIN SOMETHIN WRONG THAT MIGHT BE GIVING ME SHIT FPS IN FH6 PLEASE TELL SOLUTIONS

You can get a 1151 370 board with WiFi or a dedicated WiFi M.2. Can also get PCIE WiFi card. 3050 is ok, for 40-50 bucks more I’d get a 3060ti. The 8gb 3050 has 128 bit bus, basically how fast data flows. Think of it as lanes on a highway. The 3060ti has a 256 bit bus, double the data flow. Basically the 3060ti can effectively use that ram more than the 3050, even with the same amount. The 3060ti is also about double as fast, which tracks. I have one and it’ll run most everything medium to high @1080p.

What is your budget and location? What are the full specs of your PC, including the power supply?

I live in india and i forgot the PSU. Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU, 16.0 GB, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) 1 tb of storage. As for budget I can go upto 40k or 421 dollars.

You will need to confirm the PSU. There should be a label on the unit itself.

How much are you trying to spend?
If you get a motherboard with the same cpu generation as your current board you can reuse the 9500. It would be expensive to find a used motherboard from that generation as it would not be wise to buy a new one just because of the price
Which version on the 3050 exactly are you eyeing

oo alright. I was eyeing the MSI GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X E 6G OC i m getting it for about 25k inr or 263 which is a hella cheap for me. What do you thing would happen if i just change the GPU
