Radeon RX 560 (móvel)

2017

Why buy it

✅Costs $200 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).
✅Draws 65W instead of 115W, a 50W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (4,500 vs 19,548).
❌Less VRAM, with 2 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 2 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 45.5 vs 65.4 G3D/$ ($99 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 better than Radeon RX 560 (móvel)?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 19,548 vs 4,500 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX 560 (móvel) 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 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2017, 334.4% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 2 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 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4060 is about 202.0% more expensive on MSRP at $299 MSRP versus $99 MSRP, and you are getting 334.4% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 560 (móvel) really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

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

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX 560 (móvel) is 2017 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 4,500 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
