Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 1050 Ti better than GeForce MX570 A?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 6,350 vs 6,208 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a 2016 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while GeForce MX570 A is a 2022 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce MX570 A is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2016, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 8nm process instead of 14nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $140 MSRP. GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is about $160 cheaper on MSRP at $140 MSRP versus $300 MSRP, and you are getting 2.3% higher G3D Mark. GeForce MX570 A is the newer 2022 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (25W vs 70W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does GeForce MX570 A make more sense than GeForce GTX 1050 Ti?

Yes. GeForce MX570 A is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (25W vs 70W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $300 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 1050 Ti currently gives you 2.3% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 119.2%.
