Radeon R9 M395

2015

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌
445.5% HIGHER MSRP
$300 MSRPvs$55 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 16.4 vs 87.3 G3D/$ ($300 MSRP vs $55 MSRP).
❌15.4% higher power demand at 75W vs 65W.

Radeon RX 560X (móvel)

2018

Why buy it

✅Costs $245 less on MSRP ($55 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
✅Delivers 430.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 87.3 vs 16.4 G3D/$ ($55 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon R9 M395: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon R9 M395 is already obsolete for modern gaming.
✅Draws 65W instead of 75W, a 10W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon R9 M395 better than Radeon RX 560X (móvel)?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 4,934 vs 4,800 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon R9 M395 is the overall package: you are getting FSR upscaling.

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

Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2018 generation instead of 2015, better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling, and a 14nm process instead of 28nm. 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 R9 M395 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon R9 M395 is about 445.5% more expensive on MSRP at $300 MSRP versus $55 MSRP, and you are getting 2.8% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Radeon RX 560X (móvel) make more sense than Radeon R9 M395?

Yes. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) 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 (65W vs 75W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $55 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon R9 M395. The trade-off is that Radeon R9 M395 currently gives you 2.8% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
