In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 560D 2GB.
The RX 570 has a 78 MHz higher core clock speed and 72 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 560D. This results in the RX 570 providing 88.5 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 570 has a 78 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the RX 560D. This results in the RX 570 providing 20 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 560D was released less than a year after the RX 570, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RX 570 has 2048 MB more video memory than the RX 560D, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX 570 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX 570 has 224 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 560D, which means that the memory performance of the RX 570 is massively better than the RX 560D.
The Radeon RX 560D 2GB has 896 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB has 2048. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 560D is 699 and the actual shader performance of the RX 570 is 2683. The RX 570 having 1984 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 570 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RX 560D.
The Radeon RX 560D 2GB requires 75 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB requires 120 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the RX 560D and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570. The RX 570 requires 45 Watts more than the RX 560D to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 570 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 560D.

Mini Review | Overview Radeon RX 560D 2GB is a middle-class graphics card based on the third revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture It equips a GPU codenamed Polaris 10 which is a 1st gen Polaris GPU, offering 896 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it requires at least a 350W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance This graphics card is rebrand of the Radeon RX 460 and was designed and marketed towards cryptocurrency miners and low to mid-end gaming. A light weight, small form factor GPU solution that offers mobility, so that gamers travelling to events can bring a smaller cheaper gaming rig. The Radeon RX 560D 2GB can play most modern games at medium graphics selection on a 1600p screen res and expect around 45+FPS. THe low TDP makes it a cost effective choice for cryptocurrency miners. System Suggestions Radeon RX 460 2GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1600x900. We recommend a mid range CPU and 8GB of system memory for optimal performance. | Overview First off we should point out that this is not the new AMD Vega graphics card line. These new AMD Radeon RX 500 series cards are an uprated version of the RX 400 series that they are replacing. This Asus RX 570 graphics card is one of the higher performance models from the new AMD Radeon RX 500 Series. The AMD Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 4GB graphics card released in April 2017 as an AMD performance gaming graphics card. This card competes against Nvidia's GTX 1050 Ti and replaces the older Radeon RX 470. As a Polaris refresh, the RX 570 runs at a slightly faster clock speed than the RX 470. Architecture It is powered by the 14nm Pollaris 20 GPU, which has 2048 shader processing units, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 processing central unit runs at 1168MHz and goes up to 1310MHz, when the boost mode is triggered. The reference RX 570 card's boost clock is 1244MHz Memory The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 comes with a 4GB frame buffer of GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 has a rated board TDP of 120W, it requires at least a 400W PSU with one available 8-pin connector. Performance The AMD RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC delivers a Mid/High graphical performance for 2017. with the RX570 capable of running most triple AAA titles released during 2017 on medium to high graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. With some adjustments and lowering anti aliasing this RX570 4GB card can confidently maintain 60+ frames per seconds on high graphic settings at 1080p. Moving to 1440p screen resolution and the graphics card may need to be adjusted down to medium in order to maintain 50-60+ fps. System Suggestions The RX 570 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a mid range R5 Ryzen processor and at least 8GB of system memory for optimal gaming performance from the RX 570. |
