GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 380
The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the Radeon R9 380. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti draws just 75W versus 190W for the Radeon R9 380, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Pascal architecture on a Samsung 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 4GB against 2GB, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon R9 380's 2GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R9 380 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 Ti or Radeon R9 380?
The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the faster card by about 33%. 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.
