GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is dramatically faster, around 750% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is comfortable at 1080p, while the Radeon RX 560 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 560 starts at $82 EUR against $1,004 EUR for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. 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 1080 Ti still sits about $305 EUR above its $699 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 560 pulls less power (60W vs 250W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 1080 Ti draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 11GB against 2GB, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 1080 Ti 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 1080 Ti or Radeon RX 560?

Choose the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti better than the Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is dramatically faster, roughly 750% ahead. The Radeon RX 560 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or the Radeon RX 560?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti worth the extra $922 EUR over the Radeon RX 560?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Radeon RX 560 comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 11GB (vs 2GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
