Question which to choose? rx 580 4gb or 1050ti 4gb?

[JWade]

i have to choose between the rx 580 4gb and the 1050ti 4gb. both are overkill for my use, but wondering which one is better. i tried looking up benchmarks, one site sites with the 580, another site sides with the 1050ti, opinions on which is better and why?

Well, you want an honest answer? Raw compute "guts" award would go to the RX 580, but it also has much greater power-consumption.

If you have an OEM pre-built system, and CAN'T, for some reason, change out the PSU to a 500-600W one, then stick with the "safe" option, of the 1050ti 4GB.

But for pure gaming FPS, power-consumption-be-damned, the RX 580 is a notch better.

If you ARE going to go with the RX 580, and you're buying new, consider an 8GB model, if it's not more than $20-25 more.

Also, you can mine ETH with the RX 580, way better than the 1050ti 4GB can. If that matters to you.

Edit: I'm basing this on HardwareUnboxed videos, from a year or so ago, comparing RX 570 with GTX 1050 ti 4GB. The RX 570 was their recommendation, because although it had higher power consumption, it was the same price or cheaper, and had higher FPS in games.

The RX 580 is yet another notch above, in FPS, and slightly higher in power consumption (though not much, most Polaris cards are in the same ball-park, power-consumption-wise, except for the "little Polaris" cards, like the RX 550.)

Edit: I missed the part about "both are overkill". Is this for a HTPC? Go with the 1050 ti 4GB. For gaming? Go with the RX 580.

If they're both overkill, though, consider going with whichever card is cheaper?

What is your current system and what will be the use ?? Gaming ?? if yes then what games and what resolution.

its a prebuilt, a Dell 5676 with a ryzen 2700. it has the rx 580 4gb in it, i have a 4gb 1050ti in my previous system, a dell 5675 with a ryzen 1600

Well then, what's the issue? Are you looking to downgrade to save some watts when pushing the system? At low power mode, aka most cases, you will not have any real difference in power use, but when you need the raw performance, the 580 will be much better.

The RX580 is a lot faster than the 1050Ti, I wouldnt change the card unless you dont play any games anymore and you want to sell the RX580.

only games i play, the igpu is more than enough, but i like to be able to play something more demanding if i want to, thanks for the opinions and information,

RX 580 is almost twice as fast, but it does consume more power obviously.

When launched RX580 was equal to GTX1060 3GB, and using 2019 driver, I believe it's closing its gap to GTX 1060 6GB as well.

When launched , the RX580 8GB was equal to GTX1060 6GB and now in the latest games it can reach up to 30% faster than GTX1060 6GB.

yep, go with the 580 4GB, its much faster and you will be happy with it

RX580 is definitely much faster. Stick with that for now.
