Why are you comparing to Vega? These new chips have RDNA iGPUs.
While I agree that buying a used GPU will be probably net you better performance per dollar, the 1050Ti is significantly slower than the 780M and even 760M and uses significantly more power.
Some benchmarks can be seen here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Cjnep8j-o https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Cjnep8j-o
- ryukoposting 3y agoA couple reasons: Vega 11 is the best iGPU on a desktop CPU that you can actually buy right now. Preliminary benchmarks on engineering samples are fun to ogle at, but aren't necessarily an accurate representation of the product that will actually land on your local Microcenter's shelves. Then there's the estimated MSRP - only the 8500G's $180 price tag fits the "budget gaming PC" description, and even that's pushing it. You can also buy a better GPU than a 1050Ti for less than $50 used.
