In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 9 are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition.

The RX Vega has a 200 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 560 Ti. This results in the RX Vega providing 30.4 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 Vega has a 200 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 560 Ti and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RX Vega providing 6.4 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 Vega was released over three years more recently than the GTX 560 Ti, and so the RX Vega is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 560 Ti when running the latest games.

The GTX 560 Ti has 1024 MB video memory, but the RX Vega does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.

The Radeon RX Vega 9 has 576 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the RX Vega is 487 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 560 Ti is 691. The GTX 560 Ti having 204 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 560 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RX Vega.

The RX Vega transistor size technology is 26 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 560 Ti. This means that the RX Vega is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 560 Ti. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the RX Vega should consume less power than the GTX 560 Ti.
