GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 560
The GeForce GTX 1060 is dramatically faster, around 250% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Radeon RX 560 starts at $82 EUR against $309 EUR for the GeForce GTX 1060. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 560 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~8% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 560 pulls less power (60W vs 120W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 1060 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 6GB against 2GB, the GeForce GTX 1060 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 560's 2GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1060 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 1060 or Radeon RX 560?
Choose the GeForce GTX 1060 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.
