GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 560
The GeForce RTX 2060 is dramatically faster, around 550% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 2060 starts at $2,826 SEK against $7,858 SEK for the Radeon RX 560. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2060 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 1708%. The GeForce RTX 2060 still sits about $2,477 SEK above its $349 SEK MSRP. The Radeon RX 560 still sits about $7,759 SEK above its $99 SEK MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 560 pulls less power (60W vs 160W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2060 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 6GB against 2GB, the GeForce RTX 2060 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 560's 2GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 2060 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX 560 (Turing vs GCN 4.0 (Polaris)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2060 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 RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 560?
The GeForce RTX 2060 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.
