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 $82 EUR, $265 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 1070 at $347 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 30%. The GeForce GTX 1070 is trading below its $379 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1070 better than the Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce GTX 1070 is dramatically faster, roughly 450% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1070 or the Radeon RX 560?

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 GeForce GTX 1070 worth the extra $265 EUR over the Radeon RX 560?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce GTX 1070 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce GTX 1070 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 8GB (vs 2GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
