The RX 560 is a fantastic card that performs exactly as advertised. As far as pricing goes, on Amazon and Newegg I can find the RX 560 to be anywhere from $5 to $15 cheaper than the GTX 1050. With all that being said, the Radeon RX 560 deserve our Gold Award.
The Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 OC offers good performance for the money in its 2GB version and a degree of future-proofing in its slightly more expensive 4GB version. Both offer good build quality, high performance cooling and silent operation options via the supplied overclocking software. However, there are less expensive RX 560 cards available from other vendors.

Compared to the GeForce GTX 1050, we can say it was a technical tie: in some games, the Radeon RX 560 was faster; in other ones, it was slower; and they were similar on the other ones. The tested models have the advantage because they have 4 GiB, which makes them better suited for future games than 2 GiB models. So, we concluded that the Radeon RX 560 is a good video card for casual gamers, with a great cost/benefit ratio.
