I have a GTX 760 2 gig, thinking of getting a 1050ti 4 gig. Worth it or no? cpu is i5 4670 and 16 gig ram. £119 on B/Friday sale. Thinking I could get £50 for my old card so the upgrade is £70.

Buy it or leave it?

Or 1060 (3GB) for https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Nvidia-1060-GDDR5-PCI/dp/B01KHWOAR4/?tag=hotukdeals062-21

GPU prices seem to be falling again Dance!

No advice sorry, currently debating the same thing.

Thank you CaNsA and M.C, I was ideally looking at sub £150. I don't game that much and can't really justify doing £230 odd quid on a gpu, £120 fair enough. I might go to CEX online and order an R9 290 for £145. Sell mine for £50 and the upgrade has cost me £100 inc postage.

They also have GTX 780ti's for £155, that is meant to give the 3 gig 1060 a run for it's money!

Do they come with a warranty? Not sure if I'd be comfortable dropping that much on a secondhand GPU.

Anything CEX is 24 months.

after months wanting to upgrade my 750Ti I gave up and got the 1060 gaming edition asus....£300 from maplins when stock arrived. I can justify it more in the fact the 750Ti did NOT get on with photoshop CC so I needed to upgrade as it was making editing pics a nightmare! Just happens COD WWII plays nice tho !!

I ended up buying nothing, still got the GTX 760. I just messed around with some settings and WW2 and Wolfenstein are now great. I'll get around to upgrading sometime I guess but not right now.

i find my 750ti quite capable of playing most games on med-ultra, i find h1z1 runs fairly well on medium so no real reason to upgrade for me yet, its a fairly decent budget card imho
