Verdict
Our verdict on the RX 560
A low-power, entry-level card from 2017 that's best for esports, but struggles with modern demanding games.
Get it if you need a low-power card for light 1080p gaming or an older PC upgrade without changing the power supply. Skip it if you want to play modern games at higher settings or expect smooth performance in demanding titles.
Buy it if…
- You play older games at 1080p and don’t need max settings.
- You build a budget PC and don’t need an extra power cable.
- You want a cheap card for light video editing or photo work.
