AMD Equevelant to GTX 1050?

Hello, so my fellow freind is planning on buying a random budget graphics card, to give his pc a decent boost.

I told him that the GTX 1050 or GTX 1050 Ti would be a great option,and I showed him some benchmarks.

He really liked the results and the possible fps avgs.

However hr is unsure, he is kind of more an AMD fan and doesn't really like nVidia products.

 

Does any one know which card is the one that matches (or pretty close) the GTX 1050 OR thr 1050ti that is from AMD RX 4 or 5 Series?

 

Thanks

Here is another factor to consider, the 1050 or 1050ti are much more power efficient than the rx560, no that I am slamming AMD or anything it's just that some 1050s only need to be plugged into the PCI-E slot and sip power from there, while AMD ones require that you plug them in to the PSU since they use 120 watts and the 1050 only draws 75 watts.

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

RX 560 = GTX 1050
RX 570 = GTX 1050 Ti

RX 580 = GTX 1060 6GB

 

Also note that the 560 has two versions of it: one with 1024 cores and one with 896 cores. Try to get your hands on the 1024 one as it will perform a bit better.

The RX560 with 1024 cores is about as powerful as a GTX 1050 , a bit slower in some games, a bit faster in others. There are RX 560 cards with only 896 cores, these are basically the processor chips that were in RX 460.

 

(amd isn't the only one resorting to these ... shenanigans ... gtx 1060 3gb model also has fewer cores compared to the gtx 1060 6gb and even worse, the gtx 1060 3gb model is now available with ddr4 memory as well, which is a model that up to 20-25% slower than the regular gtx 1060 3 gb)

 

RE power consumption the simple presence of a 6pin or 8pin power connector doesn't necessarily mean it uses more power, just that the card may in some conditions be able to use more more.

If a card powers only from the pci-e slot, then it's restricted to the maximum allowed 75w from that slot, while with an extra power connector, it may take power from both sources (slot and extra power connector)  or just from the extra power connector. 

There are some video cards which can work just powered from the pci-e slot, but the manufacturer of the video card may have added the extra power connector in case user wants to do some overclocking... for example the card may by default consume 65 watts, but by overclocking the card it may use more than the maximum allowed 75w, so by not having an extra power connector the overclocking would be limited. 

 

The RX 560 cards use up to 80w of power, for the models with 4 GB of memory and 1024 cores... that's a bit over the maximum 75w allowed to be taken from the slot.  Some manufacturers slightly reduce the chip frequencies to get it below 75w and sell such models without extra power connector. 

So if a RX 560 has an extra power connector, it won't use way more power, it will most likely just split the power consumption between the connectors, it will take 20-40 watts from the motherboard, and 30-50 watts from the extra connector.. it won't use more than 70-80w (or up to maybe 90-100w if you really overclock it)

 

The GTX 1050 power consumption is maximum 75w, which is basically the maximum it can take from slot alone - if you have a video card with no power connector and you're overclocking it, in theory you're taking more power from the slot than it's safe, and in theory a motherboard can be damaged - in practice motherboards are designed to allow more than 100w to be taken through the slot, for safety purposes.

 

So basically the power differences between a RX 560 and a GTX 1050 are very small, 10-20w ... nothing to worry about when the whole pc uses 100-200w when you're gaming. It won't affect your power bill. 

You may or may not have to use a 6pin or 8 pin pci-e cable, which could affect your decision if you're trying to build a super tiny pc and you worry about cable management, but otherwise both models are just as good.

actually the RX 570 is close to the RX 580, same difference between GTX 1060 3GB and GTX 1060 6GB, so i would say RX 570 = GTX 1060 3GB.

RX 570 is much faster than a GTX 1050 TI
