GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 560 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 560 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 at 80 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti over the Radeon RX 560.
