In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050.
The GeForce GTX 1050 has a 186 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 570, but the RX 570 has 88 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 1050. As a result, the RX 570 exhibits a 95.3 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GeForce GTX 1050. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GeForce GTX 1050 has a 186 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 570 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GeForce GTX 1050 providing 5.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 570 was released less than a year after the GeForce GTX 1050, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RX 570 has 2048 MB more video memory than the GeForce GTX 1050, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX 570 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX 570 has 111.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 1050, which means that the memory performance of the RX 570 is massively better than the GeForce GTX 1050.
The Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB has 2048 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1050 has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 570 is 2683 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 1050 is 1257. The RX 570 having 1426 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 570 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 1050.
The Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB requires 120 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1050 requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GTX 1050. The RX 570 requires 45 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 1050 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 570 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 1050.

| Mini Review | Overview First off we should point out that this is not the new AMD Vega graphics card line. These new AMD Radeon RX 500 series cards are an uprated version of the RX 400 series that they are replacing. This Asus RX 570 graphics card is one of the higher performance models from the new AMD Radeon RX 500 Series. The AMD Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 4GB graphics card released in April 2017 as an AMD performance gaming graphics card. This card competes against Nvidia's GTX 1050 Ti and replaces the older Radeon RX 470. As a Polaris refresh, the RX 570 runs at a slightly faster clock speed than the RX 470. Architecture It is powered by the 14nm Pollaris 20 GPU, which has 2048 shader processing units, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 processing central unit runs at 1168MHz and goes up to 1310MHz, when the boost mode is triggered. The reference RX 570 card's boost clock is 1244MHz Memory The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 comes with a 4GB frame buffer of GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 has a rated board TDP of 120W, it requires at least a 400W PSU with one available 8-pin connector. Performance The AMD RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC delivers a Mid/High graphical performance for 2017. with the RX570 capable of running most triple AAA titles released during 2017 on medium to high graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. With some adjustments and lowering anti aliasing this RX570 4GB card can confidently maintain 60+ frames per seconds on high graphic settings at 1080p. Moving to 1440p screen resolution and the graphics card may need to be adjusted down to medium in order to maintain 50-60+ fps. System Suggestions The RX 570 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a mid range R5 Ryzen processor and at least 8GB of system memory for optimal gaming performance from the RX 570. | Overview The latest GeForce GTX 1050 is Nvidia's lower end graphics card, designed to compete against AMDs more affordable gaming cards, like the RX 460 or RX 470 and expected to replace the outgoing GTX 960. Architecture The Pascal Architecture aims for twice as much performance as the Maxwell Architecture and Introduces support for Second Gen HBM. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed GP107-400 which has 5 SM activated and thus 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1354MHz and goes up to 1455MHz with the Boost Clock. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock Operates at 3504MHz which is outstanding. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance The GTX 1050 will enable mid level graphics performance on modern AAA 2016 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will have slightly faster performance than the GTX 960. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 1050 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080, so our recommendation would be to use 1600x900 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a high-end processor such as the i5-6500 and 8GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
