✅Draws 85W instead of 120W, a 35W reduction.
✅More future proof: RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon RX 570 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
❌
77.5% HIGHER MSRP
$300 MSRPvs$169 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 23.8 vs 41.2 G3D/$ ($300 MSRP vs $169 MSRP).

Radeon RX 570

2017

Why buy it

✅31.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Costs $131 less on MSRP ($169 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
✅Delivers 73.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 41.2 vs 23.8 G3D/$ ($169 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌41.2% higher power demand at 120W vs 85W.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 570 better than Radeon Pro 5300?

Yes. Radeon RX 570 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon RX 570 averages 31.0% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 6,967 vs 7,125 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon RX 570 is a 2017 card with FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, while Radeon Pro 5300 is a 2020 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 Pro 5300 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2017, the stronger feature stack with FSR upscaling instead of FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, and a 7nm process instead of 14nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

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

Radeon RX 570 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon RX 570 is about $131 cheaper on MSRP at $169 MSRP versus $300 MSRP, and you are getting 31.0% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (6,967 vs 7,125). It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 73.6%. Radeon Pro 5300 is the newer 2020 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (85W vs 120W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon Pro 5300 make more sense than Radeon RX 570?

Yes. Radeon Pro 5300 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (85W vs 120W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $300 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon RX 570. The trade-off is that Radeon RX 570 currently gives you a lower G3D Mark (6,967 vs 7,125) and 31.0% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 73.6%.
