The Radeon RX 560 is third in the line up of AMD’s second generation Polaris GPUs aimed at the entry-level 1080p gaming market with a sub-$100 launch price, due for release in May 2017. It is the successor to the now nine month old RX 460. Like the RX 460, it is based on Polaris 11, but comes with all 16 compute units enabled (2 more than in the 460). Coupled with a 6% improvement in boost clock speed from 1200MHz to 1275MHz, a minimum increase in overall effective speed of 10% against the 460 is anticipated. The RX 560 is fresh competition to NVIDIA’s GTX 1050 in terms of price and performance. User benchmarks reveal that NVIDIA’s GTX 1050 is faster than the RX 460 by 17% and so it is expected that the 560 will close most, if not all, of that gap. [May '17GPUPro]
AMD’s 8GB Radeon RX 5700 is a mid-range Navi 10 GPU. The 5700 has 36 compute units (compared to 40 in the 5700 XT). At $349 USD, the 5700 is more affordable than the $399 USD 5700 XT which is approximately 10% faster and more power hungry (225W vs 180W). Unlike the benchmark busting reference XT which overheats and chokes on its default settings, the reference 5700 (non XT), though still noisy, is able to maintain composure and is capable of delivering a very respectable 100+ EFps. This puts it 5% ahead of the RTX 2060 and just 8% behind the RTX 2060S in most of today’s popular games. In terms of compatibility the short test runs in our lab had issues with GTAV where reflection MSAA resulted in very poor, almost matt, reflection fidelity (the same bug appeared on several Navi and Vega cards). Prices are necessary to confirm which graphics card offers the best bang for your buck but there is certainly a lot more choice in the upper end of the GPU market. [Nov '19GPUPro]
