You’re in the market for a new GPU and want to spend less than $200. In that case, the main choices would be the GTX 1050 Ti (~$140) from NVIDIA and the RX 470 (~$170) from AMD. Given the differences in price and performance, which of these mid-range graphics cards is the better deal?
The GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti have both launched. This is not an “exciting” launch where a new $150 card beats last year’s $500 card, but it is a good launch nonetheless. NVIDIA has new $110 and $150 cards, and they both perform well for their respective price points.
The 3GB version of the GTX 1060 has launched. At $200, this card is a great deal and has been placed in our Superb tier, knocking the RX 470 out of our recommendations list until that card’s price drifts closer to its $180 suggested retail price.

The youngest of NVIDIA’s new 1000-series family, the GTX 1060, launches today. It is a hard launch, and cards are available for sale, if you can snag one fast enough. In the few minutes that it took to write this blog post, I have watched several versions of the card go out of stock! And why? The […]
The time has come. The GTX 1070 Founder’s Edition has launched, and it has majorly disrupted our graphics cards recommendations on the Logical Increments parts list.
Now that the GTX 1080 (Founder’s Edition) is available and on the Logical Increments parts list, it’s time to turn our attention to NVIDIA’s more affordable GTX 1070, launching June 10th.
The NVIDIA GTX 1080 is releasing on May 27th, and early reviews (see below) indicate it is quite majestic. This new card will launch at $700 for reference versions, with $600 versions coming later. The card performs between 20-25% better than the $1000 GTX Titan X, the previous generation’s king. Right off the bat, it has some impressive […]
