GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

2023

Why buy it

✅339.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Delivers 52.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 56.8 vs 37.2 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $99 MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
✅More future proof: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌113.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 75W.
❌41.2% longer card at 240mm vs 170mm.

Radeon RX 560

2017

Why buy it

✅Costs $300 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
✅Draws 75W instead of 160W, a 85W reduction.
✅Measures 170mm instead of 240mm, a 70mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4060 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 37.2 vs 56.8 G3D/$ ($99 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Ti better than Radeon RX 560?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti averages 339.2% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 22,651 vs 3,682 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX 560 is a 2017 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2017, 515.2% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR Frame Generation (2023). That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is about 303.0% more expensive on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $99 MSRP, and you are getting 339.2% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 515.2% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 560 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX 560 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX 560 is 2017 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM, 3,682 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

Both GPUs support Frame Generation technologies, but they achieve it differently. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti uses DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while the Radeon RX 560 relies on FSR Frame Generation. Both can significantly boost FPS in supported titles, but they are not on the same feature stack.The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 560 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
