GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 380X: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 380X
The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the Radeon R9 380X. 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 380X, 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.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R9 380X 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.
