I searched alot but i´m not really sure what is the best gfx card with equal features and performance.
Maybe anybody have a personal experience.
I do. It is a great card that serves me well and I can only recommend it. I have the 4gb OC version.
So Mike you're recommending the Geforce GTX 1050 TI? It's a really nice and cheap card, but I think the poster was looking for an AMD alternative to a Nvidia card I think.
The Geforce GTX 1050 is a great card for performance / cost. But you're not interested in that ;D
The AMD equivalent of the GTX 1050 would be the AMD Radeon RX570. So that model or anything above it would be equal > better performance.
I have an eGPU with a Radeon Pro 580 8GB and I've never had any problems with it. I had to go down the eGPU route as the Mac mini 2018 ( 2020 ) has a really shit integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 which is an abonination to GPU's. Luckily the new Mac mini M1's have a far superior GPU which is actually pretty good.
Of course you are correct Steve.
I don't get into whether in terms of performance the cards are equivalent but in terms of power consumption nvidia is twice as economical.

Yeah part of the reason why I bought one - it's so small, economical and quiet. The power supply in my computer is not the biggest so the GTX 1050 is ideal.
