While new and upcoming GPUs are great to compare, we have to remember the old warriors, who paved the way. With the news that NVIDIA will be returning to production of the GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1650, to answer the GPU shortage that is happening right now, we have to ask the question of how good they are when put against the GPUs of today, one of which is the newly available RX 5300M.

Today we will do just that, by comparing the Radeon RX 5300M against the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.
