GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs Radeon RX 560 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 560 beats the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 560 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 at 80 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 560 is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.
