Here’s how it works.
Early Verdict
Radeon RX 560 doesn’t outperform its predecessor by as much as we expected. However, it’s still a fairly cool, fairly quiet card that serves up modest frame rates at 1920×1080 in modern games, so long as you’re willing to dial quality back to Medium presets.
Pros
- +
Compelling 1080p performance at reduced detail settings
- +
Manageable heat/power consumption
- +
Radeon RX 560 4GB is reasonably priced if you find a $120 card
Cons
- —
Comparable performance from GeForce GTX 1050 in most games
- —
Higher power consumption than GTX 1050

AMD Radeon RX 560 4GB: Polaris 11 Rides Again
AMD’s Radeon RX 500-series refresh was a quick blitz of mostly recycled GPUs and iterative nomenclature.
But there were a couple of developments that made the 500-series notably more competitive than the Radeon RX 400s before them.
For instance, we got a first taste of Polaris 12, code-named Lexa, in our Radeon RX 550 2GB Review. That GPU was designed to fill a gap under $100 (£120) where entry-level favorites like Radeon R7 260 and 360 once lived. It, along with Nvidia’s competing GeForce GT 1030, were welcome additions to a long-neglected segment.
Just above the RX 550 in its refreshed product stack, AMD unveiled a Radeon RX 560 that also piqued our interest. Last year, we identified the Radeon RX 460 as a clear step up from previous-gen Bonaire-based cards and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Radeon RX 560 takes the same Polaris 11 GPU, enables all of its shading/texturing resources, increases its clock rate, and (theoretically) lowers its price.
If the RX 460 was already a strong option for HD gaming, we couldn’t wait to see how Radeon RX 560 improved upon it.
Meet Radeon RX 560: More Shaders; Higher Clocks
When Radeon RX 460 launched more than a year ago, we hadn’t seen a new mainstream GPU from AMD in years. Until then, everything was repackaged first- and second-generation GCN designs. Naturally, though, the shift to 14nm FinFET inherently meant new processors, even if they shared a lot of architectural attributes with their predecessors. Now the company is massaging its first wave of Polaris GPUs to better situate them against a full portfolio of Pascal-based competition.
Compared to Polaris 10, composed of 5.7 billion transistors on a 232 mm² die, Radeon RX 560’s processor packs three billion transistors into 123 square millimeters of die space. It’s similarly based on AMD’s fourth-gen GCN architecture, but rebalanced for more power-sensitive applications.
A single Graphics Command Processor up front is still responsible for dispatching graphics queues to the Shader Engines. So too are the Asynchronous Compute Engines tasked with handling compute queues.
As with Polaris 10, this chip’s command processing logic consists of four ACEs, with two Hardware Scheduler units in place for prioritized queues, temporal/spatial resource management, and offloading CPU kernel mode driver scheduling tasks. While many resources are trimmed moving from Polaris 10 to 11, this is not one of them.
Shader Engines, on the other hand, are halved—Polaris 11 gets two, compared to Polaris 10’s four. But whereas the version of Polaris 11 that went into Radeon RX 460 featured seven active Compute Units per SE, Radeon RX 560 gets a completely uncut GPU sporting 16 total CUs. Given 64 Stream processors and four texture units per CU, the math for Radeon RX 560 adds up to 1024 shaders and 64 texture units across the GPU—a ~14% increase.

Two render back-ends per Shader Engine, each with four ROPs, total 16 pixels per clock, or, again, half of what you get from Radeon RX 580/570. Polaris 11’s memory bus is also cut in half to 128 bits. AMD tries to compensate somewhat with 7 Gb/s GDDR5, but even then, you’re only looking at 112 GB/s of bandwidth. This spec is unchanged from the Radeon RX 460.
There are higher GPU clock rates to talk about, though. AMD specifies a base frequency of 1175 MHz and a Boost ceiling of 1275 MHz. The company sent our U.S. and German labs Asus’ ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 O4GB Gaming OC Edition to test, which is overclocked to a 1326 MHz Boost frequency in Gaming mode.
Interestingly, while the Radeon RX 460 was officially rated under 75W, opening the door to implementations without auxiliary power, all of the boards we tested had six-pin connectors.
For its higher-clocked Radeon RX 560, AMD cites a typical board power of 80W. And yet, we’ve already seen versions with no power connector and higher-than-reference clock rates. Our Asus cards do, however, come equipped with six-pin inputs.

3DNews Technologies and IT market. The most interesting in the reviews
04/24/2017 [17:21], Ivan Grudtsyn More recently, ASUSTeK Computer has distinguished itself by being the first in the world to publish photos and specifications of its own Radeon RX 560 models. ROG Strix and ROG Strix OC video cards received a DirectCU II cooling system, (4 + 1) memory and a 6-pin PCI-E Power connector. The listed features of the new products allow us to hope for good overclocking results, especially since the second generation of cards based on Polaris chips has a better overclocking potential compared to the first.
A few days after the appearance on the Web of information about the debut video cards ASUS RX 560, information about their counterparts was made public — structurally simpler Radeon RX 560 OC models in versions with 2 and 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. They have internal designations ASUS RX560-O2G and RX560-O4G. Note that the release of Radeon RX 560 2GB cards was supposedly not planned at all, but rumors about this just refute the data on ASUS RX560-O2G. ASUS Radeon RX 560 2GB/4GB OC Adapters are designed as a dual-slot, full height PCI-E x16 expansion card, measuring approximately 22cm long and 11cm wide. Details of the video accelerator’s circuit design are hidden by a simple (at least outwardly) cooler, which includes a solid aluminum radiator and a pair of ~75 mm fans. The casing of the cooling system dispenses with illuminated elements and is used to fix the fans.
The 6-pin PCI-E Power connector was not missing here either. Thus, the cards are designed for peak power consumption of 150W, although in real applications they are unlikely to exceed the 100W mark (without custom overclocking). Recall that the core of the Radeon RX 560 models includes 1024 4th generation GCN stream processors, 64 texture units (TMUs), 16 render units (ROPs) and a 128-bit memory bus. One of the pictures shows that near the rear panel, next to the quartet of solid capacitors, there is a small black heatsink on the board. It cools the power transistors. ASUS RX560-O4G and RX560-O2G are equipped with DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors for image output. Global sales of new products will begin in May. Source:

The default frequency formula for the RX 560 is 1175-1275/1750(7000) MHz. Since the ASUS Radeon RX 560 2GB / 4GB cards received the OC prefix, most likely their GPU is overclocked, but how much is not yet known. In this matter, we should wait for official data.
