Geforce GTX 1050 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Geforce GTX 1050 vs Radeon RX 560
The Geforce GTX 1050 is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 560 currently lists from $638 BRL, $1,598 BRL less than the Geforce GTX 1050 at $2,236 BRL. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 560 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~134% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 560 still sits about $539 BRL above its $99 BRL MSRP. The Geforce GTX 1050 still sits about $2,127 BRL above its $109 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 560 is the gentler choice at 60W versus 75W. The Geforce GTX 1050 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 75W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Geforce GTX 1050 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 560 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: Geforce GTX 1050 or Radeon RX 560?
Choose the Geforce GTX 1050 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 560 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
