Question If NVidia is bringing back the GTX 1050 ti 4GB, AMD should bring back the Polaris RX 560 /550 4GB, full-stop.

Discuss.

Otherwise, AMD is going to bleed discrete GPU market-share, due to lack of production.

I also have some hope for more retro boards.
I remember my fondest memories of PC gaming with Matrox MGA & 3dfx Voodoo2.
Wish I could keep all my old builds. Retro gaming with raspi isn't the same!


But I'm still getting a 6900XT to replace my current GTX1080.

Honestly, what they should do is release a $200 Nvidia "GeForce RTX 3050" and a $200 AMD "Radeon RX 3600" with only 4 GB of VRAM. It would be useless for crypto mining, but would still be perfect for that person who wants to play Fortnite or PUBG at 1080p with max details.

GTXX 650 (non-ti) tested in 720P in modern games.

TL;DR: It sucks!

 

[VirtualLarry]

Here's a summary from 2017, it actually doesn't fair so badly with Crysis and Just Cause (3?). Witcher 3 not so good though. GTA V OK.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Not so bad with Fortnite. At 720P Low, 62FPS mins.

 

[NTMBK]

Yup, sell them while you can Larry.

If my perusing through craiglist is any indication, getting to 60FPS at 720p low in Fortnite is right at the cutoff where you package it with an i3 and your leftover 2002 case from a P3 system and toss it up for $1200 as a "Midrange Gaming Computer"

If it's not too late set fire to them and claim they were damaged in shipping or something. Maybe even leave the package setting out and hope someone steals it.

Or... actually receive the GPUs, and pull 10 older dual-core rigs out of my warehouse, upgrade them with said GPUs, and sell them all for $250 ea. as "budget fortnite boxes".

Or do the same, but give them out at the local food pantry.

Yeah, basically, this, but maybe give the final "product" away? OTOH, other system builders in the area might not appreciate it. Then again, if they're building "Fortnite gaming PCs", with GTX 650 1GB cards also, I don't think that they can complain.
