Your Question:
I am making a budget build PC and I am buying a graphics card but IDK whats better

Gigabyte GTX 950 Windforce OC 2GB or GTX 750 Ti???

As seen in the link above Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti is rated with 8,4 while Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 is rated with 8,2.

I understand you are trying to build a budget build but I recommend with going with atleast a 4gb card even with Budget builds, 2gb cards have started become more outdated since last year. AMD RX 480 is a good budget card.

What kind of 4GB card is compatible with these specs:

Case: Cooler Master K350 Casing
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 up to 3.40GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H97-HD3
GPU:Gigabyte GTX 950 Windforce OC 2GB
RAM: Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Dual 1600
PSU: Corsair VS550

Edit: Pretty good graphics card but it's quite out of my budget of 30K, any good graphics card than GTX 950 less expensive than Radeon RX 480?

Shit response, those ratings mean fuck all, still love you though...

The GTX 950 severely outperforms the GTX 750Ti. With it's DirectX12 capabilties, it's specially designed to handle MOBA games but will be able to run triple A titles at 1080p high settings with around 50-60 FPS.

A GTX 960 goes for around the same price range and is definitely worth investing in rather than the 950. If you're running games at 1080p or lower, 2GB should be enough VRAM or you could for the 4GB version. All in all, A GTX 1060 will be the best choice at the moment and also future proof.

AMD offer nice cards with its new Vulkan GPU's that are specially optimized for DirectX 12. An RX 470 is a very good choice.

So It's better to go for the GTX 960? (Can you check if its compatible with my specs?)

[Wickins]

So It's better to go for the GTX 960? (Can you check if its compatible with my specs?)

Much better to go with the GTX 960. And yeah, it's compatible with your specs. If you want, give me a budget and I can build a spec list for you.

[Jimmy_Webzz]

LOL, the 1050 TI should be also around that pricerange, if not go for 1050 non Ti version

also this guy the one above my reply knows what he is talking about, and i salute you for giving the proper and right answers.

[Darnel]

My budget is 30,000 (Phillipine Peso)

[Jimmy_Webzz]

My budget is 30,000 (Phillipine Peso)

Thats for a whole pc? Or just the VC?

OT: use dynaquest/Tipidpc/pcx if you wanna try and build a systems as these stores are the local ones with the PHP Pricing, and the websites are english

btw in the specs you wrote

Case: Cooler Master K350 Casing
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 up to 3.40GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H97-HD3
GPU:Gigabyte GTX 950 Windforce OC 2GB
RAM: Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Dual 1600

There isnt that much of a wiggle room, if there is any complaints its that the system is already considered old, thats 4th gen i5 and still ddr3,

Id recommend getting the Intel Core i5-6400, they are similarly priced and what you'll get is a 6th gen i5, with DDR4 support on compatible motherboards, or i3-6100 to free some extra money to get a pretty nice gpu. Just dont get a old processor, thats my point since ddr3 is already leaving the scene

For amd's side, well its a wait for zen thing right now, as i cant recommend the AM3+ chips since the socket is gonna be phased out

Also another important question, is your monitor still VGA? the new 10xx series gpu from nvidia and the RX 4XX series from amd will no longer support analog displays

CASE: Tecware Titan = ₱2,750.00
Processor: Intel Core i3-6100 3.70 GHz = ₱5,590.00
Mobo: ASRock H110M-HDV Micro-ATX = ₱3,290.00 (Doesnt matter what mobo, any supported motherboard will work since you wont be OC'ing)
Memory/Ram: Gskill Aegis 8GB Dual DDR4 2400 CL15 (This is a 2x4GB kit) = ₱2,890.00
PSU: FSP Raider 550W 80Plus SILVER Power Supply = ₱2,790.00 (Doesnt matter if modular or not, the titan case has a psu cover so just stow the cables in that hidden comparment)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB WD1003FZEX = ₱3,770.00
SDD: Intel 540 Series 120GB SSD = ₱2,850.00
Total: 23,930. so maybe remove the hdd or ssd since you can reuse what you have now,

If you decide to reuse your old storage and remove the hdd and ssd from my list that will leave you 12690php for a gpu

for amd
Sapphire NITRO+ RX 480 OC 8GB GDDR5 = ₱13,900.00
Sapphire NITRO+ RX 480 OC 4GB GDDR5 = ₱11,060.00

for nvidia
Palit GTX 1060 Dual 3G GDDR5 192Bit = ₱9,950.00
Palit GTX 1060 Dual Fan 6GB Gddr5 = ₱12,650.00


if you really want a i5 chip, swap this with the i3 i listed
Intel Core i5-6400 2.70-3.30GHz Skylake = ₱8,690.00


Overall just a little tad over 30000php, by like 2~3k


I still need to know if your monitor is analog or digital

Yes they are all compatible

thats a total of 36980 php, this is out of your budget.

So it seems you insists on the core i5, we can drop the SDD,downgrade the psu to a non 80+ 500w (around 2k), downgrage the hdd into Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB WD10EZEX (₱2,350.00) and downgrade the gpu to 1050Ti (Palit GTX 1050 Ti StormX 4GB = ₱7,050.00)

once the downgrades has been taken into account, the overall price is now down to 29020

So, does that monitor have a DVI or HDMI input?

vga

[Jimmy_Webzz]

vga

so it does not have DVI or HDMI input? damn

so you're stuck now with getting a GTX 900 series card since they still support analog, or getting an digital to analog display converter, which will cost an additional 1k php, or getting a brand new digital monitor which is usally around 4k php

so if you want an adapter, go to tipidpc and seach for "displayport to vga" there should be some in there

or buy gtx 950/960

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I do not recommend going down the "Displayport to VGA" route, there will be noticable lag and it might even chop down the fps due to the conversion

[BadBoi]

I recommend you to buy Nvdia card , 2 GB ram and 4.8 GHz processor which is best to run Nvdia and get large size lcd to set pixels to 1280×786 75 Ghz , Which are better.

So i'll just get GTX 960 then?

[Justin]

Yes get the 960, I got the card myself and I can pretty much run any game at ultra settings.
