AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits this comparison into a clear one-sided affair. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins the only head-to-head benchmark recorded, the Geekbench OpenCL test, by a margin of 600.4%. This is not a close contest by any metric. The RX 7600M XT delivers a score of 74869, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti manages just 10690.

Looking at the broader benchmark suite, the RX 7600M XT has ten recorded results across DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, compute, and general 3D workloads. Its strongest showings come in Passmark G3D with 13907 points and Passmark G2D with 894 points. It also posts 27793 in Geekbench Vulkan and 2048 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The GTX 560 Ti has only one recorded benchmark, the Geekbench OpenCL test, which it loses decisively.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward. For any workload that leverages modern graphics APIs, compute shaders, or general GPU acceleration, the RX 7600M XT is the only viable option between these two. The GTX 560 Ti, with its single benchmark result, simply does not compete in any scenario where the RX 7600M XT has data. The GTX 560 Ti's only potential advantage would be in legacy scenarios, but the database shows no benchmark where it wins outright. The wins tally confirms this: one win for AMD, zero for NVIDIA.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs spans over a decade of semiconductor evolution. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti uses the GF114 chip based on Fermi 2.0 architecture, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 40 nm process. It contains 1,950 million transistors spread across a larger 332 mm² die, resulting in a density of just 5.9 million per square millimeter.

The memory subsystems are equally divergent. The RX 7600M XT comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GTX 560 Ti has 1024 MB of GDDR5 on a wider 256-bit bus, but only reaches 128.3 GB/s. Clock speeds tell a similar story: the RX 7600M XT has a base clock of 1280 MHz, a boost of 2469 MHz, and a game clock of 2023 MHz, with memory running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The GTX 560 Ti has no base or boost clock listed, but its memory runs at 1002 MHz (4 Gbps effective).

Compute resources are vastly different in scale. The RX 7600M XT has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The GTX 560 Ti has 384 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no ray tracing support. Pixel and texture rates reflect this: the RX 7600M XT achieves 158.0 GPixel/s and 316.0 GTexel/s, while the GTX 560 Ti manages 13.17 GPixel/s and 52.67 GTexel/s. Floating point performance is similarly lopsided, with the RX 7600M XT delivering 20.23 TFLOPS FP32 and 40.45 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1), versus the GTX 560 Ti's 1,263.4 GFLOPS FP32 and no listed FP16 capability.

API support also separates the two. The RX 7600M XT supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The GTX 560 Ti supports DirectX 12 (11_0), OpenGL 4.6, but has no Vulkan support listed. Power and physical characteristics differ as well: the RX 7600M XT has a TDP of 120 W, is an IGP form factor with no power connectors, and uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. The GTX 560 Ti has a 170 W TDP, is dual-slot, requires 2x 6-pin power connectors, suggests a 450 W power supply, and uses PCIe 2.0 x16. The GTX 560 Ti is 229 mm (9 inches) long, while the RX 7600M XT has no listed dimensions.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records exactly one head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs: Geekbench OpenCL. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT scores 74869, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti scores 10690. This gives AMD a 600.4% advantage, a seven-fold difference in raw compute throughput. This result aligns with the architectural gap, as the RX 7600M XT has over five times the shading units and nearly 16 times the FP32 throughput.

Beyond the head-to-head, the RX 7600M XT's full benchmark suite provides additional context. Its Passmark G3D score of 13907 places it in the 52nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 12710. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (average score 12773, delta -0.5%), the NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm (12625, delta +0.7%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 (12830, delta -0.9%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 455 (12831, delta -0.9%). This places the RX 7600M XT in a tight cluster around the 12,700 average score mark, meaning it trades blows with those older high-end parts.

The GTX 560 Ti, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 10690, which puts it in the 49th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6600S (10629, delta +0.6%), the NVIDIA Quadro K2200 (10761, delta -0.7%), the AMD Radeon R9 M275X (10582, delta +1%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 450 (10804, delta -1.1%). The GTX 560 Ti sits in a similar tight cluster, but at a much lower performance tier, roughly 19% below the RX 7600M XT's average score when comparing their respective averages.

The single head-to-head result is the only direct comparison available, but it is decisive. In OpenCL compute, the RX 7600M XT is not just faster, it is in a different performance class entirely. The 600.4% delta means the GTX 560 Ti would need multiple generations of improvement to close the gap.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins the only recorded head-to-head benchmark by 600.4%, and it has a far more complete benchmark profile with ten results versus one for the GTX 560 Ti. Any user choosing between these two based on the database should select the RX 7600M XT for essentially every workload.

The RX 7600M XT is the only option for modern gaming, compute, or content creation. Its DirectX 12 Ultimate support, Vulkan 1.4, and ray tracing cores enable features the GTX 560 Ti simply cannot run. Its 8 GB of memory versus 1 GB means it can handle larger textures and datasets. Its 20.23 TFLOPS FP32 performance eclipses the GTX 560 Ti's 1,263.4 GFLOPS by a factor of 16.

The GTX 560 Ti does have one distinguishing factor: its launch MSRP of 249 USD. That price point, however, reflects a 2011 product that is now end-of-life. The RX 7600M XT is active and current, released in 2023. The GTX 560 Ti's successor is the GeForce 600 series, while the RX 7600M XT's predecessor is Polaris Mobile.

For a new build or upgrade, the RX 7600M XT is the clear choice based on performance data alone. The GTX 560 Ti might interest someone targeting legacy DirectX 11-era software or requiring dual DVI outputs, but the benchmark record shows no scenario where it wins. The percentile rankings reinforce this: the RX 7600M XT sits at the 52nd percentile of all GPUs, while the GTX 560 Ti sits at the 49th. Both are mid-pack, but the RX 7600M XT is measurably higher.
