I wanted to put together a PC for my friend. He is not the blatant gamer but always wanted to play minecraft from time to time. Now the question is what kind of graphic card. I thought a GTX1050 ti. But he wanted significantly cheaper as well as cheaper cards? For example the GTX 960?
He can also be cheap if you have a Ryzen 3 APU, this has the power of a 1030 and is very cheap
Minecraft is not the game that needs graphics card performance unless you want to install shaders. Without any graphics mods Minecraft is very CPU-heavy. Graphics cards like the 900 series are now 5 years old. Maybe it is best then to go to ne 1050 ti because the prices for the graphics card are not too expensive and good performance. The 10 series is 3 years old now and the prices for such a small graphics card will not change much.
For Minecraft synonymous ne IGPU.
The 1050 is overpriced garbage. Even the GTX 960 is a little better.
An RX570 (about 130 euro) would be advisable. In addition a Ryzen 5 2600,8-16Gb RAM, 400W power supply and a good B450 board.
