Radeon RX 460 vs Radeon RX 560X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 460 beats the Radeon RX 560X in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 560X 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 560X also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 460 and the Radeon RX 560X have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 460 is better than the Radeon RX 560X.
