Radeon RX 560X vs GeForce GTX 650 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 650 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 560X in our tests.

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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon RX 560X has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 650 has a slightly lower TDP at 64 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560X at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 650 is better than the Radeon RX 560X.
