Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 550
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is dramatically faster, around 1100% ahead of the Radeon RX 550. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Radeon RX 550 starts at $530 BRL against $2,722 BRL for the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 134%. The Radeon RX 550 still sits about $451 BRL above its $79 BRL MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti still sits about $2,273 BRL above its $449 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 550 pulls less power (50W vs 180W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 1070 Ti draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 8GB against 2GB, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 550's 2GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 550 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 1070 Ti or Radeon RX 550?
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 550 if you find it at a steep discount.
