GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 560

The GeForce RTX 2060 is dramatically faster, around 550% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 560 starts at $81 EUR against $311 EUR for the GeForce RTX 2060. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2060 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 70%. The GeForce RTX 2060 is trading below its $349 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 560 pulls less power (60W vs 160W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2060 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 6GB against 2GB, the GeForce RTX 2060 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 560's 2GB can fall short.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 2060 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX 560 (Turing vs GCN 4.0 (Polaris)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2060 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 560 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce RTX 2060 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 560 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 2060 better than the Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce RTX 2060 is dramatically faster, roughly 550% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 or the Radeon RX 560?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce RTX 2060 worth the extra $230 EUR over the Radeon RX 560?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce RTX 2060 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce RTX 2060 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 6GB (vs 2GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
