- Back in 2017 the AMD RX 560 was a decent budget graphics card that improved upon it's predecessor and gave Nvidia's GTX 1050 a good run for it's money.
These days the slightly more expensive 4GB version is the better buy, but just how well does it hold up in modern games?

I have bought rx560 for around 90$ during the peak of crisis. It turned out that it was rx560d, so I flashed 560 bios and I am running it to this day
Rx560d ?? What does that mean
@@FuXioN_7777 it's a cut down version of rx 560 meant for the Chinese market
@@FuXioN_7777 It is cut down version of rx560 with same core as fully unlocked 560, most of the time simple bios flash can "fix" this card
running the same card to this day.
I think i also have the d version not sure tho.
My card model is biostar gaming rx 560 dual fan.
My clock is 1175 and mem is 1500 lower than other rx 560.
Will flashing rx 560 bios improve my performance or will it become unstable?
A friend of mine has an RX460 and an FX8150. Somehow he still manages to get pretty much every game to play at over 30fps somehow and still usually beat us all in it. Now his older brother is upgrading his rig and passing down the 2600 and RX580 to him so we are all screwed!
These cards are such a pain in the arse to find in the UK I was begining to believe they didnt actually exist. Brilliant find 👍
I have a friend who managed to find some Chinese one on eBay last year, not sure if it was a one off or if they had more though.
Tell me about it. I live in Singapore and GODDAMN , even if it is available , sellers just “BAMM 3x the normal price of everywhere else in the world”
The PowerColor Red Dragon versions are easier to find, at least here in the states, just make sure it's not a cutdown variant. I have the full fat CU Power Color AMD RX 560 4GB card I snagged off eBay in mid 2018 for $65 shipped with the OG box, and it's been a fantastic little workhorse running Solus Linux with the open source kernel drivers. I do everything from office work, video editing 720p/1080p video, transferring old VHS tapes(mostly family stuff like weddings, vacations, Christmas, etc..), watching multiple video streams on dual 24in 1080p 75hz monitors, I just down my settings down a bit in games, and I'm happy enough, and all of this paired with what some would call a weak system being a Gigabyte Micro ATX FM2+ board, AMD A10 5800K APU turboed to 4.1Ghz - 4.3Ghz, and the 16GB DDR3 RAM OC to 2133Mhz, all on air cooling in a Fractal Design Core 1000 case.
Same in the states where I am at. If you do find one they are way marked up, even second hand, to the point where it's the same cost to switch over to a setup that would take a full sized card.
thats cause htey are basically the ones in a ps4 and you have idiot amd that did the vega crap on crap laptops with non ssds and 8 gb ram
I have the step up card, the 570 is still ballin in 2022 for light gaming. I do vfx with it alongside my 9700KF and I really couldn’t complain, though I wish I had upgraded my gpu before the crisis kicked off, obviously.
I'm rocking it as well, the 4GB variant, with a R7 1700 and it can handle 1440p low on most games.
Yeah the 570 is still great 😊
Bro the 570 it's a really good card. I even run VR on it
i did i bought a 2070 for 320 pounds then sold my rx580 8gb for 250 pounds 6 months later best decision ever lol but rx500 series is great series of cards
Rocking the RX 570 8GB model and it's actually playing games at 1440p between medium/high/ultra settings which astounds me. Elite Dangerous Horizons constant 100fps in space and combat in space etc, when running Odyssey (the FPS expansion) it hovers around 59/60 again at high preset. Best game experience has been Euro Truck Sim² at max/ultra preset and full everything and getting 100fps (my refresh rate) in any scene it's pretty amazing, does a better job than my laptop's RX 5600M (Dell G5 5505) :3 it's a banging card even today! (the 570 that is)
you're way more interesting to watch compared to many youtubers testing high-end GPUs, glad to have found you! :D
I had the single fan msi armor RX 560 and it served me well for 1080p in 2018 till I got my RX 580. Gave it to a friend and it can still play games
Im a single parenting Dad with a slightly better than average paid Job.
But one income for a 8 year old boy and one adult dont leave room for hugh investments these days (we can all sing this song nowadays i guess).
However. I manged to get my hands on a Acer Nitro 515-42 with the Ryzen 5 2500 and the RX 560X 4GB.
The previous owner allready upgraded the RAM to 16GB Dual Channel DDR4 and put in a 512GB Nvme Drive.
I paid 300€ for the machine and im super happy with the Machine!
I play on the internal Screen, most of the time in 900p (on 15" there is no real advantage to force 1080p in my opinion).
As you said. These card was and is again a really good pick for everyone on a tighter budget!
Great video. I appreciate it.
My friend has a rx 560 with i5 4590 and 16 gigs of 3200mhz ram, and i was really surprised how well it performs in the modern titles.
I have a laptop with ryzen 5600h and gtx 1650 and the rx 560 performs almost similar to the 1650 mobile
Some benchmarks :-
Gta V V. High settings
560 - 47 fps avg

I mean these upload frequency are amazing, and video quality have only been getting better. Now, let's see how fast can this amazing channel can get to 0.5million sub.
I gotta say I do not comment often on your videos but watch them all and I just feel I had to tell you I fucking love your Battlefield name.
Am happy that you covered red dead redemption 2 I always like to see that game get covered.
Until recently I owned a gaming laptop with a 4gb variant of the gtx 1050 (non-ti), people didn't believe me when I told them I could run around 50fps in The Witcher 3 with medium/a few high settings - a lot of people don't realize that these budget cards are still reasonably capable for gaming, though I'd definitely want 4gb of VRAM minimum these days. Add a bit of overclocking on top FSR and they're worth hanging onto!
I have a 1050ti, runs cyberpunk on med detail at 35-40 fps, looks amazing. after seeing how the 560
performs here and having played alot of those games, the 1050 ti with its current drivers destroys the 560.
@@A.I-GAMING Don't know how but now RX560 AND GTX 1050TI perform similar in all games.
Sometimes 1050ti give 5more fps
great videos. :)
Some games have a vram indicator in their benchmark. Useful to get the right balance between quality and fps. Another good video mate.
7:10 that tree is having a fit!
Wanted to see how this card performs in FH5... Hopefully you bring it back for testing as it is one of the best looking games I have ever seen.
I bought a 560 4gb for my first gpu and it was absolutely awesome. It also was a very solid overclocker, i think i could do like +300 on the core.
Hey dont take offence but i like how simple you make your vids , not getting all crazy .. Greetings from NJ USA
Got an rx560 during December for a really bad price. Prices in Southern Africa are always bad but I'm just happy you're singing the card's praises
looks promising. might pick one up within 2 days as upgrade for my r3 2200g Vega 8 apu upgrade, really excited!!!
I love how you are holding the card like a gun in the thumbnail
got my rx560 back in 2019 for $100usd which is like 210$ in our currency as I wanted a cheap gaming pc.
it just runs whatever i throw at it, of course it won't do constant 60fps.
i mostly get 30fps or a bit below @1080p which is playable.
its one of the few underrated cards out there.
Got my rx580 for 80usd in 2019
@@LISBONKULT great bargain
I read the title a bit to quickly and missed the "RX" part, thinking that you where evaluating Nvidias 560 card as "surprisingly capable in 2022" and was surprised to say the least. Things made more sense when I started watching and realized my mistake :)
I'm rocking a RX560 4gig right now and its working just fine!
G'day Random,
My niece's PC has a i5-2500 + PowerColor RX460RedDevil 4GB, it has been really great as she mainly plays RoBlox & Rocket League, but we got the TombRaider Collection when it was the Epic Freebie so I got her a i7-2600 & we are upgrading the 460 to my ASUS RX570Strix
That's a cool little card. i like the low profile. might have to make a budget build with that one.
I love watching videos that make my RX480 4GB card still feel relevant in 2022.
@AFKSOLITUDE Same here, but on 4400, which is not much better
@AFKSOLITUDE Depends on your needs
Certainly an order of magnitude better than my 2 pcs (i3 4150 w 4gb of ram and integrated intel hd 4400, and a Lenovo ThinkPad sl510 with an Intel Celeron something and 2 gigs of ram from the vista area)
@AFKSOLITUDE Lot better than mine, but mine doesn't exceed 60°C
@AFKSOLITUDE Well then I guess your setup is pretty good
Congrats, after 1012 thumbs up, still no thumbs down!!!
I've found the models I've had my hands on had quite a bit of OC headroom as well.
I can recommend the software "Lossless Scaling" that you can find on Steam. Can use it to get use of FSR even in games that not natively support it c: Not as good as natively supporting it, since the Hud also will get upscaled and can look slightly bit off but nothing too bad.
Thanks for the tip, man.
I really want to test this out with my old 3GB 960. Thanks for the info!
Does it help improve the perfomance ? It gives more FPS boost like how FSR does ?
@@mediumsurmoon6283 Yeah, in most cases it should do it. Works in the same way really. You start the game in windowed mode at lower resolution, then with Lossless Scaling you get a few options on how to scale it up and FSR is one of em. Basically turns the game into borderless windowed mode all upscaled.
The neat thing with AMD that they made FSR open source is that this be a decent option for games that not have native FSR support yet.
@@YaoiStick does it work with a NVIDIA card ?
i use one of this in my mining operation back in 2017, and a temporary replacement when i have mt GTX 1080 RMAed. This card is very capable and can run BF1 at ~80 fps medium.
I just got one of these a few days ago. What a awesome coincidence.
I recently purchased a 4GB PowerColor RX560 for my gaming machine! Still an awesome performer for 2022!
Interesting! A low profile comparision would be extremely useful
I loved the 570 4gb and 8gb, and still have a 580 8gb sapphire blue special edition which runs great, i then went Nvidia to see what the fuss was about, and the fuss was justified. I'm obviously impressed with the RTX 3000 series and really liked the cute little RTX 3050 StormX you tested and can see that in a nice sff build.
Watching this video with my 11400f and RX560 4G (GPU borrowed from a friend due to the current situation), hope the gpu prices go down in q3 , but still verry happy with this bad boy of a GPU
I'm still rocking my RX 480 8gb from when it came out, it's a brilliant card tbh
I bought the visiontek 4GB LP single slot card with 4x mini DP recently for $180 from Amazon and it runs 4 monitors beautifully! Love it.
Damn didn't think I'd see my card on this channel! Sadly I have the 2gb version but it's still going hard on locked 60fps with low-med in demanding games and maxed out on rocket league xD
I bought this card couple of years ago for a very cheap price. It was before the whole chip shortage and stuff. It is showing it's age, but it is indeed quite impressive that is able to play these modern titles reasonable well.
I was hoping that you included god of war in the benchmark but good job as usual
I still use my RX560D. I unlocked it to 1024 SPUs and overclocked and undervolted it, so it maintains the stock temperatures while doing a better job. This cards undervolt quite good.
my stepdad is still using one for autocad drawing on two monitor setup and its purrrfect!
Bro! A low profile RX 560! Rare one. If you're ever selling I'm definitely buying!
Awesome Bro
I've used dozens of these in builds over the last few years. Still my favorite budget GPU though I'm happy with a 1050ti if I can find one around the same price.
I have a Radeon pro 560 in my iMac which I’ve been using since 2018, it’s served me very well.
My first real GPU was a 260X it was pretty good, the AMD 60 series is still a decent card.
It was my second one. Had to sell, because I had problems with drivers.
Can confirm the Polaris cards were and are quite viable. Depends on needs but TBH a 1080p gamer these days would happily take a 560/570/460/470 and have few if any problems with it. DX12, FSR, $GB cards are worth the cost.
my first was the 270x back in 2014
My first real GPU that I bought with my own hard earned money was a PNY Geforce 6800GS 256mb AGP. Total cost was $215 from tigerdirect back in 2005. I threw it in a PC my dad built me that had a Athlon XP 2800+ CPU and Geforce FX 5200 GPU. Significant upgrade at the time.
mine was an MSI 270x, until it died and had to upgrade to a 570 on the 2017 crisis. even then, i only paid $50 over MSRP for a Gaming X version.
Awesome little GPU to find and still offering a decent gaming experience 🥰👍.
5:42 with infinite, I've noticed that dynamic res gives much high frame rates with a minimum of 60 and also a 60 fps cap, vs a 60 fps min with no cap
I see your fence also had a wind related incident! Ours took off. I have no idea where it went but it was the same size panels as yours.
What kind of wind took out 6 panels that size and took them off into the night? lol
This is the same as my first GPU! Used in an Optiplex that I built in 2018. It was fantastic for everything that I threw at it. I certainly miss that card.
I bought the very same card back three years ago, and I can definitely say that it's a good card 😁
Hah! My brother runs a 4gb RX560. You've certainly described it well, and done it justice.
Damn didn't expected this.
I have two of these exact cards. The one advantage these have over the 1050 and 1650 lp cards is if you want to make a hackintosh out of a low-profile system, these work great for that purpose. These cards also perform better than a Gigabyte 560 I have in another system.
My kids acer nitro 5 has a 560 and 2500u. It always surprises me how well it keeps up considering how old it is. She plays pretty much anything she wants.
I’m currently rocking a yeston rx560 with 4gb of gddr5 vram, runs like a charm. It cost me 240$ though.
Something like this would be hella nice in my parents PC. It has 6100 and 8GB RAM, a low profile card is a must. Such a nice little card and FSR is a god sent for cards like this!
this does surprisingly well
I have the RX 550 4GB overclocked to its limits and I can tell it can handle almost all games at least at 30fps
Same here, I stripped the card of the heatsink / fan and added watercooling on GPU and large heatsinks to the VRAM chips. With a little voltage boost on a stock 550 BIOS, I am running 1550Mhz GPU and 2000Mhz RAM (8000Mhz) totally stable, pushes a fairly steady 30+ FPS (30 - 40 FPS) in most modern AAA games and rarely dips much lower (typically ~28 FPS) in heavy action / large open world scenes. 1080p is fine at 30 FPS typical, but lower res can seen much higher frame rates, so I tend to play with a balanced resolution / frame rate depending on the type of game. Surprisingly decent results for such a weak GPU...
@@theuntidyworkbench7444
Mine is at 1350MHz 1.075V core and 2000MHz VRAM 0.875V but no watercooling sadly haha. When i get a better GPU in the future i'll try to mod the BIOS so I can set the RX 550 core at 1.2V and see if the frequency can scale a bit higher
No, those GPU arent meant for gaming, just too weak, should have buy a 750ti instead for around the same price
yes! i had a RX 560 OC as my first GPU during that first gpu crisis back in like 2018, i think? I was great for most games at medium settings for me. I gave it to my little brother as his first Gaming PC after I bought a RX 580 Nitro Pulse on ebay bid for $35. I was in bad condition because i guess he lived near a beach and the ports were caked in rust. I cleaned it up and it has been running for the past 3 years!
Hello! Just wanted to share a bit of low spec wisdom about cyberpunk. If you add the mods "cyber engine tweaks" (and enable it's performane functions) and "no fog mod" to the game you will get an over 60 fps average with no obvious visual sacrifice @ 1080p low with high quality FSR. I've got a 2GB Rx460 and I get a steady 40-50 fps at all times.
Wow really amazing results. It gets lots of performace plus by FSR.
I am suprised that ist works this fine in 1080p.
Is there a big performance plus when it runs on 720p ?
I used to have Sapphire Pulse RX560 4GB. It was my first card after years of playing with iGPU. I'm impressed it can play most games in 1080p with Medium-High settings. If you want get one, I would recommend Sapphire since it has very good headroom to OC and it is one of RX560 that requires 6-pin PCIe cable.
I bought an RX560 for $140 back in 2018 when my Radeon 7800 bit the dust. Twice the VRAM and it's worked like a charm with what little gaming I do.
Hope to see Kingdom Come Delivirence sometimes as a "benchmark" test game :D
I bought this in January 2020, then the lock down started. This purchase saved me in lockdown from going insane.
Lucky!
Happy with mine GTX 1050Ti!😉
Radeon boost can help some too, if you don’t mind the quality drop when you move around
I was able to get a Gtx 1070ti this week on Facebook for $500 nzd which I think that’s pretty lucky since I was about to buy a Rtx 2060 for 550$ and the Gtx 1070ti has surprised me already with its performance overall pretty happy with that buy, just hope more people get lucky like that.
I had the special red dragon version of it, amazing card
The 460/560 often goes around 140usd in my area for the 4gb version with the 1050ti often 10 to 20usd more
But from what i see in the used market the 4gb version of any card is starting to be priced reasonably, where as the 8gb version is sometimes double of their 4gb counterpart
my daughter is still rocking my old 560 in her 6700k rig . I only dropped the card in there about 18months ago where it lived happily for years in my bedroom gaming setup after it got swapped out for a cheap 1650 super before things went stupid. it was actually totally fine until I started moding skyrim and fallout 4 . also it wasnt a bad mining card if you were into that sort of thing
That's great 😍 are you interested in gaming laptops benchmarking on different games? ❤️
Hey how bout doing a head to head between this card and a 1050 Ti? I have to settle with a 1050 Ti and I'm curious about it's performance as opposed to similar offerings from that time period and or performance specs. Thanks
In Cyberpunk I can REALLY recommend using Dynamic Resolution (together with FSR Auto, which is standard). With a card like this opting for a 30fps lock (preferably in the graphics software as it has even frame pacing) and you will see yourself doing better than FSR Quality with a very stable console-like 30fps cap.
I do this with the 6600XT. I lock my framerate at 50fps instead of 60 (since I have a freesync monitor) and the game basically runs at 1500p-1600p with balanced settings. indoor scenes and main missions it reaches 1800p... So perhaps slower cards will reach 1080p 30fps in indoor main mission scenes?
in your next GPU review i'd like to see rust on the board of games to be tested, since in my time of GPUs ive went through 3 trying to get smooth fps without frame drops
I have a 460 i use it in a tiny pc with some retro old games its doing the job
I have this card. I found it at a Micro Center a few years back. I would still be using it too if I didn't find a LP 1650 GDDR6 version back before the card shortage started. But I still have it for a backup.
I've got the Sapphire Pulse version of the RX560 and although I wouldn't call it surprisingly capable, it's still decent in games that have an upscale setting.
I was also surprised you didn't include FH5 this time, since I found it to be one of the better running new games on this card.
A few years ago I got the HP oem rx 460 2gb 1024 core for about $60. Great little card, nothing beat its performance at that price. But yeah I had to upgrade about a year ago because 2gb was just not cutting it anymore.
I bought an RX560 4GB variant at early 2020 for more or less $60, I still use it now for low-mid settings gaming until I save up for a new card. Totally worth it.
i bought this card specifically to play rdr2 last year..its a great card im happy :D
Great video!
I suggest you start benchmarking fortnite with Performance mode and epic view distance since thats what most people will end up playing with.
Nice video as always. Still kinda glad I got the 1050 ti. Honestly I prefer low settings for higher framerate and I rarely play games released after like 2015 so honestly I wouldn't be too worried if I did have that or an even my old 1030. I could do with an upgrade from my i3 8100 tho xD
For 60 FPS and before 2015 that i3 is fine. You can play Ultra 1080p 60 FPS DX9 and DX 10 games, then adjust some settings for DX 11 before 2015 or the first half of the PS4 era...
Yea fr. I suppose I mentioned upgrading my cpu because even games from like a decade ago like Kerbal Space Program and space engineers quickly get demanding with higher part counts. But yeah it’s gotten through practically everything fine, although I do record and edit videos occasionally which could be improved but not really worth changing something that works also not worth the price of something new in this market lol
Last year I bought the rx 570 due the lack of stock of other gpus during the worldwide GPU rush. Such impressive performance for his age ngl. AMD did a great job with Polaris cards.
I've bought an gtx 950 2gb 6 years ago and its overclocked to the max and still running till this day perfectly fine running most of the games, but the 2gb of vram is becoming the limiting factor these days
I have this card, good for what I use it.
I would like to upgrade but I don't see that happening any time soon lol.
This card was the one that let me play Nier Automata, since my GTX-650 with 1GB of VRAM just couldn't run it.
4GB of VRAM is pretty much a must for modern games.
I want to grab one of these for my optiplex sff, 150 ti would be ideal I think but prices are insane.
Forget the 1050 ti cuz some idiots learned one of the good gpus that can run any game is 1050 ti and they sell it for the price of a gtx 1060
I had one of these. Got it for 50€ second hand 4 years ago. It sadly died last year so i dug out my trusty old r9 280. I miss it.
I have the 560 bought 6 years ago and can still play most game on ultra or high settings with no issues
What processor were you using while testing?
Still got a rx550 and goes strong, RE Village runs a treat
I bought the MSI Aero ITX version as a temporary replacement for an XFX 580 during the previous crypto-craze (which I found at an amazing price of just 200€ during Black Friday, but had absolutely horrible coil whine - so I decided to return it) and buy this for 130€ instead. Then, I changed it with a 580 Pulse one year later (which I also god brand new from our local ebay for 130€) and I have to admit, for eSports and PS4-like gaming it was very good.
Fun fact: my version also had a core clock of 1196 MHz with no 6-pin connector, yet I managed to OC it to 1.3GHz, which was the frequency of the "standard" 560s. This helped decisively in games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, which would have otherwise dropped in intensive scenes below 30FPS on High settings/1080p.
I have one of those in my TV computer. It can run some light VR with the Quest 2 and the link cable even though the Oculus software complains.
Ive had my rx 560 since 2018 and ive been enjoying it. Gonna buy a new gpu off my friend once he can get a new one. It plays the games i have pretty decently actually. I plan to upgrade my ram and cpu to 16gb and a 5600x. My question is will that bump up the framerate in some games or will it generally run the same? I have currently a ryzen 1600 with 8gb ram.
Good video is it possible for you to check out the gtx 1050 2gb
Can you make a vid for the gtx 1080(ti)? I am thinking of buying one but I am not quite shure yet...
Edit: No wait i just saw that you already did a vid for it xD
I bought an asus k555LJ recently, it's got a 2 core 2,7ghz i5 and a gtx920m and 6gb of ram, I have to say after I launched minecraft I did not expect things games to run well, after installing optifine I got round 120fps most of the time, not bad, I installed gta V on it to just see if it'd run and boy did it, high textures and mix of normal/high settings with some fxaa ran at ~35fps, I oc'd the gpu +135(afterburner cap) on core and +225 on mem got me to an average above 40, have to say this really suprised me, I have to say for 125 pounds a great purchase, it does have screen flickering issue though, it happens after installing the intel igpu driver and running on battery, otherwise perfectly fine, almost no flex when pushing on the keyboard, trackpad is great but audio is pretty lacking
I Used that card for 3 years. just bought a newer card. That nugget served me well
Hey I had this card and I used with a Ryzen 3 second gen. CPU and it play Witcher 3 1080p in high graphical settings no problem!!!!!!!!
