In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile are noticeably better than the AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4GB.
The RX 560X has a 452 MHz higher core clock speed than the R9 M395X, but the R9 M395X has 64 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 560X. As a result, the R9 M395X exhibits a 17.3 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RX 560X. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 560X has a 452 MHz higher core clock speed than the R9 M395X, but the R9 M395X has 16 more Render Output Units than the RX 560X. As a result, the R9 M395X exhibits a 4.3 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RX 560X. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 560X was released over a year more recently than the R9 M395X, and so the RX 560X is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the R9 M395X.
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 Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile and the Radeon R9 M395X 4GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The R9 M395X has 48 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 560X, which means that the memory performance of the R9 M395X is noticeably better than the RX 560X.
The Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile has 1024 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 M395X 4GB has 2048. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 560X is 1306 and the actual shader performance of the R9 M395X is 1259. The RX 560X having 47 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the R9 M395X performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RX 560X transistor size technology is 14 nm (nanometers) smaller than the R9 M395X. This means that the RX 560X is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the R9 M395X.
The Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile requires 80 Watts to run and the Radeon R9 M395X 4GB requires 125 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 560X. The R9 M395X requires 45 Watts more than the RX 560X to run. The difference is significant enough that the R9 M395X may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 560X.

| Mini Review | Overview \r\nThe new AMD Radeon RX 500X series are an OEM version of the current RX 500 series. Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile is an Middle-Class Graphics Card based on the 4th Generation of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. The specs of the Radeon RX 500X series graphics cards are identical to the standard Radeon RX 500 series. \r\nGPU \r\nIt equips a GPU Codenamed Polaris 21 which has 16 Compute Units activated and thus 1024 Shader Processing Units, 64 TMUs and 16 ROPs. \r\nMemory \r\nThe GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of Fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1750MHz, 7GHz effective. \r\nPower Consumption \r\nWith a rated board TDP of 80W, it requires at least a 450W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI Slot for Power, meaning no Extra Connectors are required. \r\nPerformance \r\nThis graphics card was designed and marketed towards the competitive MOBO gamers. 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 560X 4GB Mobile can play most modern games at medium graphics selection on a 1080p screen res and expect around 45+FPS. Performance is exactly the same as the Radeon RX 560. \r\nSystem Suggestions \r\nRadeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a Performance Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview Radeon R9 M395X 4GB is a High-End Mobile Graphics Card based on the second revision of the Graphics Core Next Architecture (CGN). Architecture Radeon R9 M395X 4GB Features a GPU Codenamed Amethyst XT which is a Third Gen GCN GPU and is identical to the Tonga XT GPU used on the Desktop Radeon R9 380X. Amethyst XT has 32 Compute Units Unlocked and thus offers 2048 Shader Processing Units, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit is Clocked at 723MHz. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with fast GDDR5 and Accesses the Frame Buffer through a 256-bit Memory Interface. The Memory Clock Operates at 1250MHz. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 4GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However, because the GPU itself is too weak to work under other circumstances in which 4GB of Memory are needed - such as 4K Gaming, a Large Frame Buffer is mostly a Gimmick. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 125W, it is suited for very large laptops. Performance Radeon R9 M395X 4GB is a Direct Rebrand of Radeon R9 M295X 4GB. Performance is Comparable to the desktop Radeon R9 280. Therefore, even GeForce GTX 970M is still faster. System Suggestions Radeon R9 M395X 4GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a Strong Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
