The Radeon RX 560 is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the Radeon R7 360. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon RX 560 packs 1,024 stream processors versus 768 on the Radeon R7 360.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 560 draws just 60W versus 100W for the Radeon R7 360, and it also delivers more performance per watt β€” so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern GCN 4.0 (Polaris) architecture on a GloFo 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 560's memory is faster β€” 112 GB/s versus 96 GB/s β€” which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The Radeon RX 560 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon R7 360 (GCN 4.0 (Polaris) vs GCN 2.0), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: Radeon RX 560 or Radeon R7 360?

The Radeon RX 560 is the faster card by about 33%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above β€” particularly VRAM and power draw β€” and check current stock before buying.
