Radeon RX 560 vs Radeon RX 560X specs and performance

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

Our database shows that both the Radeon RX 560 and Radeon RX 560X both have the same core clock speed.

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 560X has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 at 80 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 560 over the Radeon RX 560X.
