I just recently bought 1050Ti Asus card and contrary to all benchmarks and comparisons i see 1050TI is stronger than RX 470.(at least in unigine heaven and GTA 5)
Every other benchmarks tell that RX should be better. GPUbenchmark even says it's 30% and more better than 1050ti.

But real example i have here is different.

Now both configurations are almost identical.

PC 1

Mobo Gigabyte 990x g1 gaming
CPU FX 8300
RAM 8GB 1866mhz hyper x
GPU Asus ROG STRIX RX 470 4GB OC

PC 2
MOBO MSI 970 gaming
CPU FX 8320
RAM 8GB 1899mhz hyper x
GPU Asus Expedition 1050TI 4GB OC

I just couldn't believe that nvidia is capable to max out GTA 5 and pull more fps, run smoother and faster than radeon card. I could max out GTA on RX but it gets sluggish and barely pulls out 30-35 fps while Nvidia goes even to 40 fps.

Only difference in configs is that i have LG FreeSync monitor while Nvidia is still stuck with old monitor.

I was just impressed, confused and totally amazed how good this card works, and on top of that in normal conditions you would buy this card for 150$ while RX i paid 200$. But in this crypto crazyness i got nvidia for 200$ while RX cost even 400$ if you are lucky to find it.

I was always Radeon guy but Nvidia just amazed me with this card.
 
The RX performs the same in other system, it was in PC 2 for a while and was getting same performance, it was getting 2-3 frames more when setting post processing to highest but i am guessing it's cos FX8320 is just that slightly faster than FX 8300. Other than that it's the same. I didn't test Nvidia on PC 1 though.
