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
On price, expect to pay $1,666 SEK for the Radeon RX 560 versus $6,924 SEK for the GeForce GTX 760. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 560 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~316% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 560 still sits about $1,567 SEK above its $99 SEK MSRP. The GeForce GTX 760 still sits about $6,705 SEK above its $219 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?
Choose the GeForce GTX 760 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 near-identical performance.
