I've got this old motherboard:
Asrock z77 extreme 4 http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/ Need to replace video card on it, thinking about getting this: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 04G-P4-6253-KR, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814487291 Thats about what I want to pay for one, so is it a good choice, bad choice, ok choice, etc? I'll probably upgrade the rest of the system in a while. Thanks. |

What are you going to use it for? That card will be great if you dont have onboard video and you just want to watch 1080p videos... gaming, not so much.
This is a lot more powerful for just a few bucks more. Use the code SAVE15 for another 15% off. Gets it down to around 160 GTX 1060 3GB The AMD cards (470/570) are also very competitive in this price range. Really depends on what your purpose is (gaming, rendering, casual use, etc). |

Dont know if they're right or not. |
| I think it would be a fine choice. As I type this I am using a (kinda long in the tooth) Asus z77 Sabertooth MB with an i7-3770k processor and an nvidia gtx 550 Ti that seems to handle about any game I've thrown at it well enough if that is your thing. I don't play a lot of games but it hasn't disappointed me when I do. Does fine with photoshop too. What is your intended purpose? |

Funny, the comments on the slickdeals thread on that card lead me to the card I posted. https://slickdeals.net/f/10133620-new-jet-customers-msi-geforce-gtx-1060-armor-3g-ocv1-video-card-149-after-20-rebate-free-s-h?src=catpagev2 The posters there claim the card I listed has better performance.

When I upgraded my GPU I went with the EVGA GTX-1060 6G SSC GPU, it works great!
It replaced an OEM Nvidia GT630. Attached File Before and after benchmark (that's supposed to be GT-630, not GT-635): Attached File |
