    I appreciate every benchmarker, especially the ones that give accurate numbers and show the exact configuration. You showed that the GTX 1050 TI is still capable, There are so many games out there, even released in 2024-2025 that run excellent on this PC. Now, let's talk about the negative. There are quite a few videos out there (not only yours) where the titles can be misleading sometimes. Titles that have "in 20XX year" is somewhat of a clickbait. For example, in this video, we have Fallout 4 from 2015/2016 (with DLCs), Rainbow Six from 2015/2016, GTA V 2013/2014. Those games did get updates with time, but not in such a way that they would require new specs as minimum and recommended. I am not criticizing your work, never will. Those are just my 2 cents on this type combination of videos + title. Best of luck to you and to the benchmarkers community!

    it was always kinda iffy to me if 4gb was worth it on the GTX 960 both from the bandwidth perspective as well as the price vs the GTX 970 you saw on sale during the time period. i will say that the GTX 960 competed well against R9 380 but was handily eclipsed by the RX 470 not even a year later, and kind of competed against "itself" with the GTX 1050 Ti, not to mention anyone holding out with a HD 7970 or R9 280 or something. for $30-40 though an RX 570 can sometimes be found...

    • @oldertechtoday
      @oldertechtoday 21 день назад

      The RX 470 and 570 definitely perform better; they were also made on a smaller lithography process. 40 USD will likely bring you a working - albeit mined - GPU. 30 USD is (at least in my part of the world) getting dangerously close to a scam. Anyway, in terms of GPUs on the 28 nm node, Maxwell ruled; AMD was only able to compete in value.

I did not have the pleasure of having to work with Fermi cards, so I can't comment on the GTX 580. 3GB does limit what this card can play, and while there are still some popular games that can do with that, they become fewer and fewer as time passes.

    GT 710 was not a meme card when it was released, as it has hardware decoding of H.264, i.e. it was being able to play compressed 1080p videos witch was a big deal back then. It only became meme card later when Nvidia continued to produce it. As for GT 1030 , it was a budget gaming card in the PS4 era (roughly 2015-2020) , i.e. it would run PS4 ports at 1080p low , sometimes 1080p med. For lots of people it was enough, especially since it did not have large power requirements, i.e. you could slap it in any office computer it would work. AMD actually had better offer with RX 460, but some people preferred Nvidia. Now, there is all that controversy with Nvidia releasing 1030 cards with both GDDR5 and GDDR4 memory (later being lot slower), but that is theirs unfortunate practice even today.

      Yeah, that's the intended purpose, but it can still fail at that if one does not pay attention! I tried using it for media decoding in a PC, and performed bad, with some slowdowns in playback. A Fermi GT 730 however performed like a breeze. You see, that PC was using an i5 2400 - that's PCIE gen 2. The GT 1030 was limited to 4 lanes of slow gen 2, while the Fermi card used all 16 lanes. That's 4 times the bandwidth.

Thing is, a 4 GB RX 560 has a higher price than the R9 270, at least in my neck of the woods. Now, the DX12 feature level and the driver support is worth the price difference, if you ask me.
