AMD Radeon RX 560X Benchmark and Specs

AMD Radeon RX 560X

The Radeon RX 560X is an AMD GPU that was released in 2018 March. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 482 points in our PC benchmark.

The Radeon RX 560X has 4 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 109 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon RX 560X GPU core runs at a frequency of 1175 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1275 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon RX 560X supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

The AMD Radeon RX 560X has a TDP of 75W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
