GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown
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 $12,424 JPY, $31,554 JPY less than the GeForce GTX 1070 at $43,978 JPY. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 55%. The Radeon RX 560 still sits about $12,325 JPY above its $99 JPY MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1070 still sits about $43,599 JPY above its $379 JPY 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?
The GeForce GTX 1070 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.
