In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 560 Gigabyte Gaming OC 2GB.

The RX 560 has a 103 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 780 Ti, but the GTX 780 Ti has 176 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 560. As a result, the GTX 780 Ti exhibits a 182.1 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 103 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 780 Ti, but the GTX 780 Ti has 32 more Render Output Units than the RX 560. As a result, the GTX 780 Ti exhibits a 32.7 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.

The RX 560 was released over three years more recently than the GTX 780 Ti, and so the RX 560 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 780 Ti 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 GTX 780 Ti has 1024 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 GTX 780 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.

The GTX 780 Ti has 224 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 560, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 780 Ti is massively better than the RX 560.

The Radeon RX 560 Gigabyte Gaming OC 2GB has 1024 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition has 2880. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 560 is 1318 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 780 Ti is 3275. The GTX 780 Ti having 1957 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 780 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RX 560.

The RX 560 transistor size technology is 14 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 780 Ti. This means that the RX 560 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 780 Ti.

The Radeon RX 560 Gigabyte Gaming OC 2GB requires 80 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition requires 250 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 560 and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 780 Ti. The GTX 780 Ti requires 170 Watts more than the RX 560 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 780 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 560.
