The prices in my country are op so I'm asking which card would be the best bang for the buck purchase? I can get the Sapphire RX 560 Pulse 4gb at $138.037 brand new and $108.46 used. A brand new Palit GTX 1050 StormX 2gb is priced at $108.46 as well and the 1050 ti version at $137.05. I also have a LG 23MP68VQ-P freesync monitor.

The 1050 Ti would be the best choice out of them. A 570 would be better to go with the freesync monitor if you can raise the budget.

If you are looking for a new monitor as well, get the RX 560 (or a RX 460 as it is also a good option if it's cheaper, it's only a small bit worse.). This means that you can use freesync, as monitors with gsync are more expensive. Otherwise, I'd go for the 1050 or save a small bit more to get a 1050ti

Edit: I am an idiot and did not finish reading your question for some reason, sorry! : )
I agree with RobCrezz, although with eretheum mining it will take a few weeks before 570 prices return to normal.

There is no RX470/570 in the OPs choices.

From the review you linked:

Really, though, just buy whichever fits the budget. Unless you’re playing one of the specific games where the 560 takes a strong lead (like DOOM or Sniper), performance is similar enough to just go for the card that favors the budget. If games like DOOM and Dx12 titles are in your regular games arsenal, then the 560 seems to suit those titles (from our tests).

Again, best price/performance is the used RX 560 at $108.46. The FreeSync is just gravy (which you can't have in the more expensive GTX 1050 Ti).

Yeah so the 1050 ti is the best card within the budget. An extra $20 for 10-15fps is a bargain.

You're just talking about 10-15fps in specific games. But what about games that the RX 560 performs better than the GTX 1050 Ti? You're asking the OP to pay $20 extra for lower performance in those.

Again, from the same review you linked:

The 1050 ti outperforms the RX 460 and 560 in the vast majority of games by a significant margin. You provided one picture where it unsurprisingly gets better FPS in vulkan, and another where it performs the same within margin of error.

Over most games the 1050 ti is significantly faster than the rx 460/560 (which perform pretty much the same within 1-5 %)

Thanks for the answers everyone! I'm still undecided but I have a clearer picture now. I'm actually worried about buying a used card I also found a XFX RX 470 today for roughly $197.173 so I'm considering that option as well.
