RX 560 4GB or 1050 2GB???

[CastleCrusher]

So, it has come down to the only really useful thing I can do with my money is either buy a $130 dollar tablet, or buy an Asus RX 560 (4GB) or 1050 (2GB) from any manufacturer. I think I should go with a graphics card, but which one is the better buy? I plan on using the card with an AMD A8-9600 overclocked to 4.1GHz, and play games like Overwatch, CS:GO, and Minecraft. I will also be using AutoCad but no extreme assemblies. I thought I should buy the 560 because it has 4GB of ram vs 2GB, but what do you guys think? Thanks in advance!!!

Prices on the GPU? 

 

Edit: The 560 is the stronger card, if I'm remembering benches correctly, and is the one to get between the two.

560 gets my vote. I wouldn't get any tablet around the $130 mark.

Alright'y then, RX 560 it is, thx!

yup, 560. not much slower, if anything at all, and more vram.

 

If it's 1050 ti vs. 560, then 1050 ti.

Before you buy either of those you need too make sure you have a power supply of at least 500watts too leave enough headroom. If you cant afford a power supply upgrade than go with whatever the more power effcient is. But personally i had a 1050 for about a year (although i paid 100$ pre market hike) and its a card you can really push. itll destroy CSGO all day and can run games like PUBG and Dayz (which are more demanding than CSGO) at 1080p High or Ultra with games like Fallout 4 and Dead Rising 3

I'd go with the RX560, 2GB is really outdated nowadays.

I'd go with the 1050. Go watch a massive benchmark video with 20 or so GPUs from Hardware Unboxed or Gamers Nexus. The 1050 is comfortably ALWAYS 5-10% ahead of the 560, despite vram. And no I'm not a fanboy, I have a 480, I love my AMD hardware. Just the 560 is a pretty terrible card in comparison.

Don't worry, that's been taken care of.

Well I might have to buy the 1050 anyway, because the lowest cost 560 (4gb) has gone up to almost $200 dollars. Definitely not worth it.

The rx 560 is better than the 1050. I'd go with the rx 560 if u can find one for a good price.

The 560 uses 75W. A 300W PSU is enough for the type of rig you'd expect to see one in. NVIDIA and AMD throw those numbers out there to cover their asses if someone tries to run a system on a crappy low-wattage PSU and it goes boom.

 

Everyone else, why do I have it in my head that the 1050 is a stronger card than the 560?
