I was thinking about getting a GTX 1050 but I reconsidered last second and saw a RX 550 4GB. Should I get that instead of the 1050? I'm mostly thinking about gaming at medium-high settings at 1080p.
 
Solution
The GTX1050 is closer to the RX560 than RX550 in games where its 2GB of VRAM isn't a deal-breaker. If you can afford an extra ~$30, get the GTX1050Ti/4GB instead.

If you get the 4GB RX 550, and utilize VSR (Virtual Super Resolution) and GPU Scaling, you will see that it gives the 1050 ti a run for its money. I have had both cards (ti SSC), and I actually prefer the RX 550 due to its brightness and detail.
