Radeon RX 460 vs Radeon RX 560 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 460 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 560 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 560 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Radeon RX 560 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon RX 460 has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 at 80 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 460 over the Radeon RX 560.
