Radeon RX 570 vs Geforce GTX 1050: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 570 vs Geforce GTX 1050
The Radeon RX 570 is dramatically faster, around 100% ahead of the Geforce GTX 1050. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Geforce GTX 1050 starts at $2,236 BRL against $3,116 BRL for the Radeon RX 570. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 570 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 44%. The Geforce GTX 1050 still sits about $2,127 BRL above its $109 BRL MSRP. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $2,947 BRL above its $169 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Geforce GTX 1050 draws just 75W versus 150W for the Radeon RX 570, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 4GB against 2GB, the Radeon RX 570 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Geforce GTX 1050's 2GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Geforce GTX 1050 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 570 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 570?
The Radeon RX 570 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Geforce GTX 1050 if you find it at a steep discount.
