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 560 2GB.

The RX 560 has a 7 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 570, but the RX 570 has 64 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 560. As a result, the RX 570 exhibits a 74.3 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RX 560. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The RX 560 has a 7 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 570, but the RX 570 has 16 more Render Output Units than the RX 560. As a result, the RX 570 exhibits a 18.6 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RX 560. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

Both the Radeon RX 560 2GB and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.

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 560, 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 112 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 560, which means that the memory performance of the RX 570 is massively better than the RX 560.

The Radeon RX 560 2GB has 1024 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB has 2048. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 560 is 1306 and the actual shader performance of the RX 570 is 2683. The RX 570 having 1377 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 560.

The Radeon RX 560 2GB requires 80 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 450 Watts for the RX 560 and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570. The RX 570 requires 40 Watts more than the RX 560 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 560.
