Radeon RX Vega 56 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX Vega 56 vs Radeon RX 560
The Radeon RX Vega 56 is dramatically faster, around 500% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon RX Vega 56 packs 3,584 stream processors versus 1,024 on the Radeon RX 560.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 560 currently lists from $82 EUR, $708 EUR less than the Radeon RX Vega 56 at $790 EUR. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 560 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~61% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX Vega 56 still sits about $391 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 560 is the gentler choice at 60W versus 210W. The Radeon RX Vega 56 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 210W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon RX Vega 56 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. The Radeon RX Vega 56's memory is also faster — 410 GB/s versus 112 GB/s (2048-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 Vega 56?
Choose the Radeon RX Vega 56 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.
