Need Help With Potential Gaming Build!

[coolhandluke]

Do some research HERE

The picture you posted earlier shows a pretty low level who knows what model card, not a r9 360.

Unless the dxdiag command in windows 10 gives out false information, its an AMD Radeon R9 360 - 2GB… As far as the research, I posted a same link like that one… ( http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index...compare=Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti EVGA SC Gaming 4GB-vs-AMD Radeon R9 360 (OEM) ) the link I just posted shows everything in the link you did except it also shows the minimum PSU wattage and the max power it draws… that being said, it says that the 360 pulls 85 watts and the 1050 ti sc pulls 75 watts… Is that true?

If it is, would my build be technically ok with the 1050 cause it draws less power?

Cheers

EDIT

Under the circumstances of this computer, I thought it appropriate to add these…

If you know for certain that the OEM version of the AMD RX 360 only draws 85 watts and the version of the NVIDIA GTX 1050 draws only 75 watts then it should work ok but again this is not an ideal upgrade and you may run into issues particular with the power supplies stability in the future but if you are determined to upgrade the video card then feel free to go ahead with the upgrade but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

I get that there are warnings and everything to this… That being said though, I did some searching and supposedly the AMD Radeon R9 360 ?is a rebranded version of the AMD Radeon R7 360??!* If that is true then should I be looking at the specs for the R7 or the R9 since they are supposedly the same thing? Also is that statement true, that it is the same just rebranded?

Cheers and thank you all so much for everything so far, you guys are the best!

Honestly I don’t go by the R7 or R9 stuff. I look at the actual model which is the AMD Radeon RX 360. Just make a decision on what you want to do at this point and move forward with that choice. You’ve heard all of us staff members including me give their input on what you should do so the only one who can resolve this query is you.
