I have a 23.6 inch Samsung Curved 1080p Monitor (http://www.samsung.com/in/monitors/curved-cf390/LC24F390FHWXXL/) and it supports "FreeSync".

My case is "Cooler Master Elite 110"(http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mini-itx/elite110/) which supports graphics card max 210mm. This case is perfect for my room as it is small and the rack where i keep it cannot fit tower cases. Also the smaller depth of the case helps and it does not stick out. Initially i wanted a "RX 570" but the smallest that i can find is 240mm in length. Then i looked to some RX 560 (2 GB / 4 GB) and they will surely fit in that case.

But, recently a friend told me that i should get a GTX 1050TI and it is superior to RX560 in many ways and also comes in small sizes. Sadly, since it is NVIDIA card, it wont support FreeSync.

So, my questions are;

1 - Should i get RX 560 or GTX 1050Ti?
2 - Do you know a smaller RX 570 (less than 210 mm)?
3 - Will RX 560 + Freesync be better or similar to GTX 1050ti + no Freesync?
4 - Do you have anyother opinions?

Please note that i do not want to change the monitor or my case since it hits the sweet spot at my small place.

Thanks for any help :)

1 - GTX 1050 Ti > RX 560
2 - Yes, at 170mm long, the SAPPHIRE PULSE ITX Radeon™ RX 570 4GD5 here: http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=3548F713-062B-4A98-B584-D0D211C5308E&lang=eng
3 - RX 560 + Freesync > GTX 1050 Ti + no Freesync
4 - I would go for the RX 570 rather than the RX 560. You can get the Sapphire RX 570 Pulse ITX 4GD5 for ~$185+

Get an RX 570 since it will really benefit from FreeSync and there is one under 210mm. Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB PULSE ITX Graphics Card, this is 170mm. The RX 570 out performs the GTX 1050 Ti and the RX 560.

^ This. The RX 570 is stronger than the GTX 1050 Ti to begin with both with or without FreeSync it's the better option. But since you already have FreeSync that's just an added bonus. ;)
