Radeon RX 560 vs GeForce RTX 5060 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5060 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 560 in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 5060 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5060 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 560 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5060 at 145 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5060 is better than the Radeon RX 560.
