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 200% 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 $12,424 JPY against $48,773 JPY for the Radeon RX 570. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 560 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~31% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 560 still sits about $12,325 JPY above its $99 JPY MSRP. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $48,604 JPY above its $169 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 560 pulls less power (60W vs 150W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon RX 570 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
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.
