GeForce RTX 4070

2023

Why buy it

  • +498.2% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Access to DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023).
  • 500% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (12 GB vs 2 GB).
  • More future proof: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 505.1% HIGHER MSRP
    $599 MSRPvs$99 MSRP
  • 207.7% higher power demand at 200W vs 65W.

Radeon RX 560 (móvel)

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $500 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).
  • Draws 65W instead of 200W, a 135W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (4,500 vs 26,919).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 12 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.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4070 better than Radeon RX 560 (móvel)?
Yes. GeForce RTX 4070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 26,919 vs 4,500 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4070 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 4070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2017, 498.2% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 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 4070 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4070 is about 505.1% more expensive on MSRP at $599 MSRP versus $99 MSRP, and you are getting 498.2% 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.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

Both GPUs support Frame Generation technologies, but they achieve it differently. The GeForce RTX 4070 uses DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while the Radeon RX 560 (móvel) 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 4070 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 560 (móvel) relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
