well the card that epic recommend if your building a PC for developing with UE4 is a GTX770 so you don’t have to go for a 970 or whatever but I wouldn’t recommend you go with a 50, I would say a good bet is any recent card that ends with a 70 or 80 and it should run UE4 quite well, take a look at the performance survey thread for a better idea about decent GPU’s.

Thanks that info is helpful. Regarding the cards. I mentioned 950 because it was newer and close (but lesser) in general performance to 770, but I note one particular benchmark it is terrible in compared to the 770 - the 3D Mark 06 test. Is that an important benchmark for using with UE4/Blender? Several other benchmarks are very close. I do like lower power consumption of 950.

Here’s comparison I’m referencing:
