GeForce GTX 960 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 960 vs Radeon RX 560
The GeForce GTX 960 is significantly faster, around 25% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 560 draws just 60W versus 120W for the GeForce GTX 960, 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 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 960 (GCN 4.0 (Polaris) vs Maxwell), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 960 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 960 or Radeon RX 560?
The GeForce GTX 960 is the faster card by about 25%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
