GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is dramatically faster, around 100% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The Radeon RX 560 currently lists from $82 EUR, $67 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti at $149 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 10%.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the Radeon RX 560 is the gentler choice at 60W versus 75W. The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 75W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti carries 4GB versus 2GB on the Radeon RX 560. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 560 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 RX 560?

The GeForce GTX 1050 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 560 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti better than the Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is dramatically faster, roughly 100% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or the Radeon RX 560?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti worth the extra $67 EUR over the Radeon RX 560?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 4GB (vs 2GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
