Radeon 840M

2024

Why buy it

✅7.4% more average FPS across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅More future proof: RDNA 3+ (2024) on 4nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 30W instead of 75W, a 45W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Radeon Pro 560X

2018

Why buy it

✅Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon 840M across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2018-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌150% higher power demand at 75W vs 30W.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon 840M better than Radeon Pro 560X?

Yes. Radeon 840M is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon 840M averages 7.4% more FPS across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 3,803 vs 3,678 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon 840M is a 2024 card with FSR upscaling, while Radeon Pro 560X is a 2018 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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?

Radeon 840M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2024 generation instead of 2018 and a 4nm process instead of 14nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

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

Radeon 840M can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around Unknown MSRP. Radeon 840M is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon 840M is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 7.4% more estimated average FPS across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data and 3.4% higher G3D Mark. Moving to an unclear MSRP gets you newer hardware, lower power draw (30W vs 75W), and FSR upscaling.

Is Radeon Pro 560X still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Pro 560X is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below an unclear MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. Radeon 840M is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and FSR upscaling.
