Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 560
The GeForce GTX 1070 is dramatically faster, around 450% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 560 currently lists from $78 EUR, $541 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 1070 at $619 EUR. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 560 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~44% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1070 still sits about $240 EUR above its $379 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 560 is the gentler choice at 60W versus 150W. The GeForce GTX 1070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 150W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce GTX 1070 carries 8GB versus 2GB on the Radeon RX 560. The extra 6GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 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 GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 560?
Choose the GeForce GTX 1070 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.
