Geforce gtx 1050 ti vs gtx 950 vs gtx 960 vs radeon rx 460 benchmarks

After the arrival of the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, the guys from Digital Foundry have set to work to compare the new Nvidia card with its main rivals in the market, the GeForce GTX 950 and GTX 960 and the AMD Radeon RX 460

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti duels with GTX 950 and GTX 960 and Radeon RX 460

Testing at Full HD (1080p)

The FullHD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels has been chosen because it is the resolution to which the new GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card is oriented, in some more graphically simple games it will be able to allow up to 2K reducing the level of graphic detail but it is not a card prepared to work at such high resolutions. For this, you should opt for a more powerful card like the GTX 1060. FullHD is also the most common resolution and the one most used by gamers today, so the tests are very representative of what players will find with the new card.

In this resolution, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti stands out against the rest of the cards, including the GTX 960, which it exceeds in 6 games of 8. If you look at the Radeon RX 460 we see that the Nvidia card is far superior in all tests except Hitman, a game that greatly benefits AMD's GCN architecture and the Radeon RX 460 is dangerously close but still falls short.

1920 × 1080 (1080p)	GTX 1050 Ti	GTX 950	GTX 960	Radeon RX 460
The Division	32.7	25.5	33.7	27.3
The Witcher 3	40.4	31.1	38.8	31.9
Rise of the Tomb Raider DX12	43.6	35.2	44.8	33.5
Ashes of the Singularity DX12	29.1	21.6	27.2	23.2
Far Cry Primal	37.6	28.4	35.1	27.6
Hitman DX12	40.8	26.5	33.5	38.6
Assassin's Creed Unity	35.1	24.5	29.9	27.1
Crysis 3	47.4	37.8	47.6	35.5

With these tests it is more than clear that the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the new queen of the entry level, for a price below 180 euros it allows us to play very smoothly in 1080p resolution with medium or even high levels of detail in some games.
