Sapphire Launches 1024 SP Version of RX 460 - Full Polaris 11 at 1250 MHz

I'm not sure why you are trying to pretend the 1050 Ti is in the same price bracket as the RX 460. You are comparing a $100 card to a $150 card. That's 50% more for much less than 50% performance. Not to mention the RX 470 (litterally $10 - 20 more) is around the same price as the 1050 Ti so if you are going to recommend the 1050 you might as well just recommend the RX 470 instead. Now that is much better bang for your buck.

RX 460 4GB version starts from $120 not $100. And gtx1050ti starts from $135 not $150.

How will additional 2 GB of RAM help you with a card that struggles with maxed out modern games at 1080p (except making it look worse perf/price vs the 1050 ti)? You will have to lower the settings no matter what and suddenly you will not hit the RAM bottleneck ... The cheapest RX 460 and cheapest 1050 Ti have around the same performance/price ratio, so stop pushing 1050 Ti as the obvious better buy.

I would have said xfire could make it worth the extra 2gb. But from what I have read , even in xfire these just arent worth it. Shame, this price bracket was where we could purchase two and get the same perf as the top dog. Sadly that is not the case anymore.

460 hardly makes sense, when 1050 is there at rougthly the same price.

1050Ti makes no sense whatsoever, since 470 is so close and so much faster.

Just correcting price structure s/he stated which was not true(S/He used $ so I guess s/he meant american prices). And yeah there's nothing wrong with RX460 2GB, good price without unnecessary memory.

Well yeah that depends where you live. Here gtx1050ti is 50€ cheaper and RX470 costs almost the same as GTX1060 3GB or RX 480 4GB version. I'm still not implying that gtx1050ti in it's current price would be a good buy, it's a bit too expensive to be one(>165€). But there's a special niche cases where one might choose one and pay extra for it(low power, small cases etc.).

Sorry, but I just fail to see where he mentioned that the $100 version has 4 GB.

Thank god for competition! And I really fail to see how a RX 460 which was released months before the 1050 hardly makes sense ...

Also, unrelated to the above posters, here are some German prices for the cheapest RX 460, 1050, 1050 Ti, taken from geizhalz.de. You decide if 1050 is worth ~20% more and 1050 Ti ~45% more. I'm leaving the thread now, because I think I proved my point: nVidia is not the obvious winner in performance/price like some people here say.

Tpu has not tested 2GB version of RX 460. Maybe I'm just too strict, but I can't compare cards between each other if other card haven't been tested. Granted perf gap between RX 460 2GB and 4GB versions are normally minimal. But i.e. in Doom that gap is huge.

 

[Casecutter]

I mean, clearly that database is incorrect.

Or, is it all TPU all data becomes suspect? IDK

And, why I'll continue to advocate to the "mono-e-mono" testing around common pricing, appropriate test system mostly used at those cards' price point, all with settings that provide good Fps experience for the entry level review.

In my country the RX460 starts at 480 lei (120$), just like you say, but the cheapest 1050ti (palit) is ~ 650 lei (162.5$), and the most expensive (asus strix) is ~920 lei (230 $) - the same price as a much much faster RX 470 (powercolor reddragon V2).
