AMD Radeon RX 560 XFX Single Fan OC 4GB
10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

The Radeon RX 560 XFX Single Fan OC 4GB is a very low performing piece of gaming hardware and can probably only run indie system requirements.

All games with system requirements of DirectX 12 or lower are met by this card.

We take a look at game performance achieved on this graphics card when running 2023 popular games. This short Radeon RX 560 XFX Single Fan OC 4GB game hardware review looks at the graphics card frame rate performance on Ultra graphics settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions. This graphics hardware can run 238 of the 1000 most demanding PC games played today.

The Radeon RX 560 XFX Single Fan OC 4GB graphics card is returning a weak performance on Resident Evil 8 at 1080p of 0 frames per second at Ultra graphics settings. Another popular title that is good to benchmark graphics cards against is Forza Horizon 5 which we saw got weak frame rates of 22 FPS. A third game we can look at on Ultra at 1080p is the popular Battlefield 2042, which was getting 0 FPS under tests.

Next up we increase screen res tests to accommodate the growing in popularity 1440p screen size. So we booted up Resident Evil 8 to see how the Radeon RX 560 XFX Single Fan OC 4GB dealt with it. It scored up a weak series of FPS results across these graphics presets - Low: 0 FPS, Medium: 0 FPS, High: 0 FPS and Ultra: 0 FPS. Next we looked at Forza Horizon 5 which was weak with a 17 FPS at Ultra 1440p. And finally looked at Battlefield 2042 that got an Ultra 1440p FPS of 0. Running games at 1440p with a Radeon RX 560 XFX Single Fan OC 4GB is not powerful enough to deal with the increased resolution.
