Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon RX 560

The Radeon RX 570 is dramatically faster, around 100% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon RX 570 packs 2,048 stream processors versus 1,024 on the Radeon RX 560.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 560 starts at $81 EUR against $200 EUR for the Radeon RX 570. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 560 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~23% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 560 draws just 60W versus 150W for the Radeon RX 570, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 4GB against 2GB, the Radeon RX 570 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 560's 2GB can fall short. The Radeon RX 570's memory is also faster — 224 GB/s versus 112 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: Radeon RX 560 or Radeon RX 570?

Choose the Radeon RX 570 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 560 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 570 better than the Radeon RX 560?

The Radeon RX 570 is dramatically faster, roughly 100% ahead. The Radeon RX 560 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Radeon RX 560 or the Radeon RX 570?

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 Radeon RX 570 worth the extra $119 EUR over the Radeon RX 560?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Radeon RX 560 comes out ahead.

Does the Radeon RX 570 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

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