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 GeForce GTX 1050 Ti currently lists from $500 AED, $182 AED less than the Radeon RX 560 at $682 AED. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 173%. The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti still sits about $361 AED above its $139 AED MSRP. The Radeon RX 560 still sits about $583 AED above its $99 AED MSRP.
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.
