Radeon RX 6500 XT vs Radeon RX 560 XT benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6500 XT beats the Radeon RX 560 XT in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a significantly 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 6500 XT also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 107 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 6500 XT is faster than the Radeon RX 560 XT.
