GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is dramatically faster, around 1150% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is comfortable at 1080p, while the Radeon RX 560 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 560 starts at $55 USD against $340 USD for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 102%. The Radeon RX 560 is trading below its $99 USD MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is trading below its $999 USD MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 560 pulls less power (60W vs 250W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 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 11GB against 2GB, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 560's 2GB can fall short.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 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 2080 Ti or Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 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 RTX 2080 Ti better than the Radeon RX 560?

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is dramatically faster, roughly 1150% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or the Radeon RX 560?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti worth the extra $285 USD over the Radeon RX 560?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 11GB (vs 2GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
