Radeon RX 560X vs GeForce RTX 5060 comparison

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

Our database shows that 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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Radeon RX 560X has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5060 at 145 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5060 is faster than the Radeon RX 560X.
