Gtx 1050ti 4gb vs 1060 3gb

[Matthew Sheridan]

Hi,

i have recently built my first gaming PC and am looking to build a second to keep in my holiday home in france. as the questions suggests, what would be better, an asus cerberus 1050ti with 4 gb of V-ram or an asus dual 1060 03G with 3gb V-ram? i know the 1060 is a higher rated card but how much v-ram do i need? ATM i am playing Rainbow Six siege and Warframe the most. I know there is a 6gb 1060 but that is out of my price range for this second PC. Also would either of these cards be able to run either of the games mentioned earlier at 1440p at low-medium settings at 50+ FPS? I wouldn't have a 1440p monitor to start but would be great to know that if i do in the future it will run it. At the moment i have a 1070 with 8gb V-ram so i am running both games at 1440p high-max settings at around 75FPS and would love the choice to not have to go back to 1080p.

Thanks

It is ok with 3GB VRAM. 1060 is better than 1050Ti and the settings won't be low-medium but high-ultra.

the settings won't be low-medium but high-ultra.

I'm asuming that you are talking about 1080p here and not 1440p

also nvidia have good texture compression tech , would push 1060 3gb over 1050ti for frame rate
