    I currently have a EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclocked with 2GB of GDDR5, and was thinking about purchasing a new one. The card I was looking at is a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050ti with 4GB of GDDR5.

    I believe the card I have is at 1.18 MHz and the boost clock at 1.25MHz. I have had this card for about 2 years now so I don't know if it is still running that good. As far as I can tell, it is. I haven't been noticing overheating or performance drops or anything like that.

    Now, the Gigabyte is running at 1.37 MHz which is a big upgrade not to mention it's boost clock which runs at 1.50 MHz.

    I just want to see your guys' opinion on this. I have the money, the correct wattage, and ram, so it's just opinion at this point.

    What games do you play? It could be good, but only if you play more demanding titles.

    GTA5 runs fine on the High graphics settings. I get pretty good frames (no exact #) even with Very High texture quality. Wreckfest runs fine on highest settings as well.

    It's BeamNG that I was kind of concerned about. I don't get abysmal frames or anything, it can runs highest settings and all that but it's usually 30~45 or something like that. Not that I hate it or anything, but I wouldn't mind a smoother playing experience.

    What's your CPU? That could be the bottleneck.

    the 750ti has sometimes problems because it doesnt have enough vram id wait a bit for vega and see if that brings the price of the 1050ti down or get a used one from bitcoin miners as they are quite cheap again

    My RX 460 has 2Gb of vRAM, and it very rarely (none so far) has problems with running out of vRAM, and the RX460 is almost the same spec-wise as the 750ti.

    Wait for the RX 480s to go on sale after the miners start selling them. Then you can get a deal.

    Yeah, but they'll be pretty worn out and not have much life left in them.

    eh, I never had an AMD before, so I don't know how it would perform or if it would even be something that I would like. The computer I have now came with an Nvidia GeForce GT 730, and I liked it. When I decided to, I upgraded to the 750ti. I am kinda doing the same thing here. I like the 750ti, but I want to upgrade.

    The card isn't expensive or anything, compared to every other Nvidia GTX on the market.

    Once the card comes I'll test it out and see if it is any better. If it's not, I can just return it.

    It's probably your CPU. I have a i5-6600k and I get 50fps in BeamNG on normal settings. On the integrated graphics.

    Terrible in all other games, though. Oh well...

    I play Beam on High (lighting on medium) and some dyn. reflections, and other games on high (except Doom, which I play on medium).

    It's not his CPU, the GPU is definitely bottlenecking.
    OT - Don't go for a small upgrade, go for something like a GTX 1070 when you need it.

    Yeah, that would be a good option, but I don't have the money right now.

    why is that?

    Definitely a GPU bottleneck here.
