Radeon RX 560 vs Geforce GTX 1050: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 560 vs Geforce GTX 1050
The Radeon RX 560 and Geforce GTX 1050 post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.
Power & Efficiency
At 60W against 75W, the Radeon RX 560 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern GCN 4.0 (Polaris) architecture on a GloFo 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Radeon RX 560 brings AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value, while the Geforce GTX 1050 offers NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: Radeon RX 560 or Geforce GTX 1050?
The Radeon RX 560 is the faster card. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
