Radeon RX 560 vs Radeon RX 560 XT comparison

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

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.

In addition, the Radeon RX 560 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 XT at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

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