GeForce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 560

The GeForce GTX 760 and Radeon RX 560 post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce GTX 760 starts at $7,414 SEK against $7,858 SEK for the Radeon RX 560. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 760 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 6%. The GeForce GTX 760 still sits about $7,195 SEK above its $219 SEK MSRP. The Radeon RX 560 still sits about $7,759 SEK above its $99 SEK MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 560 draws just 60W versus 170W for the GeForce GTX 760, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern GCN 4.0 (Polaris) architecture on a GloFo 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Generation & Longevity

The Radeon RX 560 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce GTX 760 (GCN 4.0 (Polaris) vs Kepler), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 760 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 760 or Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce GTX 760 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 760 better than the Radeon RX 560?
