Radeon RX 570 compared with GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

	AMDRadeon RX 570	NVIDIAGeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Overview
Released
Released	April 2017	October 2016
Performance
Chip maker
Chip maker	AMD	NVIDIA
Architecture
Architecture	GCN 4	Pascal
Shader cores
Shader cores	2,048	768
Boost clock
Boost clock	1,244 MHz	1,392 MHz (better)
Architecture
Architecture	Fourth-generation GCN (Polaris), 128 texture units, 32 ROPs and 5.7 billion transistors. AMD's retained support page is labelled RX 570 (OEM) and includes slower OEM clocks; the original retail baseline and both named MSI ARMOR configurations use the published maximum 1,244 MHz. Photo shows MSI ARMOR 4G, not an AMD reference board.	Stock-clock GPU figures from MSI's GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4G datasheet, whose card is pictured. First sale on 25 October 2016 is confirmed by GamersNexus launch coverage; the original NVIDIA launch page could not be read.
Manufacturing process
Manufacturing process	14 nm (PCWorld and Les Numériques)	–
Ray tracing
Ray tracing	No dedicated hardware ray accelerators	No hardware RT Cores
AI cores
AI cores	–	No Tensor Cores
Upscaling and frame generation
Upscaling and frame generation	–	No NVIDIA DLSS support
Base clock
Base clock	AMD publishes a 926–1,168 MHz OEM range; the original retail baseline is 1,168 MHz (PCWorld). Both named MSI ARMOR boards publish up to 1,244 MHz core frequency without a separate base figure.	1,290 MHz for the stock specification; PNY's separate OC model is 1,366 MHz base and 1,480 MHz boost
Memory
Video memory
Video memory	4 GB GDDR5 or 8 GB GDDR5	4 GB GDDR5
Memory bus
Memory bus	256-bit (better)	128-bit
Memory bandwidth
Memory bandwidth	224 GB/s or –	–
Memory detail
Memory detail	MSI ARMOR 4G and 8G both specify 7,000 MHz effective GDDR5. AMD publishes up to 224 GB/s for the GPU, but MSI does not state bandwidth separately for either capacity; the 8 GB configuration therefore omits it.	MSI specifies 7,008 MHz effective GDDR5; no unambiguous maker bandwidth figure was established
Connections and power
Board power
Board power	150 W	75 W (better)
Interface
Interface	–	PCIe 3.0
Display outputs
Display outputs	3 × DisplayPort, 1 × HDMI and dual-link DVI-D on both MSI ARMOR boards. AMD lists DisplayPort 1.4 HDR and HDMI 4K60 support, but DVI as No; partner outputs differ.	Pictured MSI 4G has DisplayPort 1.4a, HDMI 2.0b and dual-link DVI-D; up to three displays
Maximum resolution
Maximum resolution	–	7680 × 4320 on MSI's stock-card specification
Power connector
Power connector	One 8-pin on both MSI ARMOR boards	PNY's stock-clock model takes PCIe slot power; its separate OC model requires one 6-pin. Check the selected partner design.
Recommended power supply
Recommended power supply	450 W	300 W on MSI's specification; requirements depend on the system
Slot width
Slot width	–	Partner designs vary; PNY lists its stock-clock card as dual-slot
Size (reference card)
Size (reference card)	246 × 130 × 39 mm and 622 g for both MSI ARMOR 4G and 8G; MSI publishes PCI Express x16 without a generation in these datasheets	No retail Founders Edition; pictured MSI 4G is 177 × 118 × 34 mm and 330 g
Video encode and decode
Video encode and decode	H.264 and H.265/HEVC encoding and decoding; HDMI 4K60 support	MSI specifies PCIe 3.0 x16 and HDCP 2.2
