welcome back to harbor unbox today we are revisiting the battle of the the budget mid-range GPUs suppose that's what we'll call them yeah the whole mid-range GPU thing it's a bit crazy now the price range is a lot broader than it used to be but I will stick with me range GPUs anyway as the title suggests I am talking about the radial rx 574 gigabyte and geforce gtx 1050 TI now for months I've been recommending to viewers that you get the rx 570 if you're on a budget well you're always on a budget but if you've got less than $200 of your budget to allocate towards the graphics card I recommend looking for one with an Rx 570 GPU really is the best value yeah the best everything right now the best value budget graphics card option and I've been doing this without an updated comparison with its nearest competitor that would be the GTX 1050 Ti so I thought it was about time that we corrected that ok so I'm not going to talk about specs or anything else at this point I'm just going to assume that you're all very familiar with these GPUs so in total I've tested with 36 games all of which have been tested at 1080p and 1440p however I am only going to discuss the results for 14 of the games and then jump to our big performance breakdown having said that if you want to check out any of the graphs that we didn't discuss they will be available for free or the link will be in the video description that'll point you over to a public post on our patreon account as usual our Corsair GPU test rig built inside the crystal series 570 X has been used and inside we have a core I 9 99 rec a clocked at 5 gigahertz with 32 gigabytes of ddr4 3200 memory I've explained in the past why we test all GPUs low end and high end with the same extreme test system it's not as black and white as some people make it out to be not everyone uses the same quality settings and resolutions so we aim to provide the best middle ground possible anyway I know the vast majority of you get it so I won't go on about this let's just get to the good stuff first up we have shadow of the Tomb Raider a super demanding title in terms of visuals and using the highest quality preset it was a bit overwhelming for the GTX 1050 TI while the 1050 TI was good for just 32 FPS on average the rx 570 pumped out 52 fps making it 63% faster that's obviously a massive win for AMD that said AMD enjoyed by far their biggest win in strange Brigade here the 570 completely obliterates the 1050 TI almost doubling its performance at both resolutions at 1080p the radeon GPU is 93% faster at 1440p almost average 60fps while the 1050 - I struggled with around 30 fps it's quite incredible that the performance margins can't be that extreme the RX 570 also easily beat the gtx 750ti when testing with battlefield 5 and even the 1080p or 1440p in fact whereas the 1050 TI was barely a provide playable performance at 1440p the RX 570 was very playable with over 50 FPS at all times admittedly for competitive first person shooters that's not really enough but these cards are intended for 1080p gaming and here the 570 maintained well over 60 fps at all times Sniper Elite 4 is another DirectX 12 title and it can take advantage of acing compute so unsurprised under the 570 absolutely roast the 1050 TI once again here here it was 75% faster to AP resulting in a night and day difference for the gaming experience Monster Hunter world is a very demanding title but even so using the highest quality preset with the rx 570 it was able to provide playable frame rates at 1080p the gtx 750ti though well not so much here the radio and GP was a whopping 62 percent faster has to be said that both GPUs did perform rather well in warframe today EP and although the rx 570 was 35% faster the 1050 TI did just fine with 91 fps on average the performance difference was more noticeable at 1440p although the 570 was still 35% faster but again the margins more impactful here as we are talking about lower frame rates just cause for isn't exactly the most well optimized title to be released last year but still the rx 570 was able to provide performance at 1080p the same can't be said for the GTX 1052 I however here the GeForce GP was 33% slower now I was going to discuss the Forza horizon for results but you'll see the margins for that title in the big breakdown graph a little later on in the video instead I thought we could discuss GTA 5 and now it's a very old game some of you point that out when we do include it but it's very popular and because of that if we don't include it we get loads and loads of comments asking us to include GTA 5 so here it is and I thought I would discuss the results here because it is quite interesting previously the GTX 1050 TI did best the RX 470 however it seems through possible further driver development and of course the factory overclock the 570 is able to stick it to the 1050 TI offering 10% more performance so AMD does very well here in what is a worst case scenario for the RX 570 in its gtx 750ti battle moving on Assassin's Creed Odyssey is typically a bad title for AMD and they generally come out well behind in this one that said the RX 570 is sufficiently fast on the GTX 1050 Ti and as such it manages to come out with a win here and a decent win at that offering 17% more performance at 1080p more importantly using the very high quality preset the 570 was able to keep frame rates above 30fps at all times and therefore provide what we call playable performance the gtx 750ti only averaged 35 FPS with frequent dips below 30fps so the gameplay was noticeably choppy next up we have hitman 2 and despite the lack of DirectX 12 support for this most recent installment in the Hitman series the RX 570 storms home for an easy win beating the gtx 1050 teait by a 41% margin the previous version of hitman did support DirectX 12 and using it we find a pretty brutal result here the RX 570 crushed the GTX 1050 to I by an incredible 64 percent margin again pretty brutal stuff here it's not the most extreme margin we've seen but I think most fuel agree 64 percent is still a rather extreme margin the good news for fortnight players is that either of these GPUs will laugh play performance at 1080p that said the RX 570 was once again the superior performer impressive given this title uses the Unreal 4 engine which heavily favors in video hardware anyway here the RX 570 was 23% faster when looking at the average frame rate and we are testing with the latest AMD driver which does improve Fortnite performance for season 7 both the GTX 1050 Ti and rx 570 provided very playable performance at Sony European Rainbow six siege that's about the twenty eight percent performance advantage the rx 570 did enable a noticeably better gaming experience and the last game that we're going to discuss results for is World of Tanks and here the 570 offered 33% more frames at 1080p both did provide excellent performance though but the radeon GPU was of course faster and then at 1440p the 570 was noticeably better hitting 66 FPS on average I posted as 48 fps for the 1050 TI upon release the GTX 1050 TI's reception could be best described as lukewarm and this was due to its lackluster price vs. performance ratio that said as radio and prices increased due to demand from cryptocurrency miners the 1050 series became very popular amongst gamers as they didn't suffer the same price hikes or didn't suffer them nearly to the same degree as the Radeon GPUs however radio pricing has now fallen back down MSRP levels and in the case of the RX 578 can often be had for less than the $170 u.s. MSRP and that's been the case for a few months now as we've seen prices drop as low as $150 u.s. but before we get a new pricing let's take a quick look at how these two GPUs compare overall in all 36 titles okay so the Radeon rx 570 was 43% fast and the GeForce GTX 1050 - on average at 1080p across 36 modern or popular titles the biggest wins was seen in DirectX 12 titles supporting async compute that said AMD did sponsor strange Brigade and Sniper Elite 4 so keep that in mind meanwhile the smallest wins were seen in Grand Theft Auto 5 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey and neither title has proven to be all that AMD friendly in the past but even so the 570 was still able to get up over the 1052 I hear so that means even a worst case scenario for the 570 meant a 10% victory so not all that bad typically though you can expect the 570 to be at least 20% faster again as we saw on average it is over 40% faster if you include enough games okay so the radio and rx 570 is obviously the superior product in terms of performance and now that it can be had for the same amount as the 1050 TI or generally it's a little bit cheaper it's really the obvious choice and that's why we've been heavily recommending it for months now it's pretty simple really don't think there's much more to say on this one or much more that we really could say I will just know that the rx 570s power consumption is significantly higher but even so it's not really extreme at around 300 watts for a total system using a high end processor so while is extreme relative to the 1050 Ti it's certainly not outrageous overall I would like to just close by saying this video has been a long time coming and I've personally been working on it for about two weeks now that said two weeks of solid work didn't go into it I've obviously been working on other projects at the same time but over that period any spare time has been diverted to this content so that said my current issues with Nvidia in no way reflects what has been shown here or my interpretation of the data as I said at the start of the video I've been heavily recommending the RX 570 ever since it dropped down to 150 dollars us and in that time I have not once revisited performance so we've done that now and now I can focus my attention on the big RT X 2060 benchmark video as always if you enjoyed the testing be sure to the like button subscribe for more content just like this and if you appreciate the way we do our box then consider supporting us on patreon thank you for watching I'm your host Steve I'll see you again next time you
