Annoyingly, it'l cost you another $30 for the 4 GB version:

AMD has said all RX 560's with disabled CU's should be clearly marked as such. The only problem is that many people don't know to look for it.
I'd be fine with their decision, if only they'd changed the product name to indicate it. The RX 460 was available in a low-profile form factor, whereas the RX 560 is not. I was hoping the down-spec was intended to enable such cards, but I've not seen one.

That makes r600 ancient (even 5/6000 series) , I really wonder if 6870 would come even close to the rx550 or 460, since on paper it is quite superior to those GPU's, that 29Gpixels/s (and 134400 MB/s memory) makes it perfect for 1080p resolutions where 460/550 clearely lag behind. I'm sure in most cases 460/550 would outperform 6870 in modern titles because of drivers as it was the case with recent tests here:
Phoronix, Linux Hardware Reviews, Linux hardware benchmarks, Linux server benchmarks, Linux benchmarking, Desktop Linux, Linux performance, Open Source graphics, Linux How To, Ubuntu benchmarks, Ubuntu hardware, Phoronix Test Suite

Originally posted by Adarion View PostStrange that the RX 550 is sometimes faster than the RX 560. This should not be. Also R7 260 (X) is definitely an older model (and even hard to get by these days?). I wonder if that is something in the driver or if they actually hit a CPU limit or a different bottleneck during the tests.

RX 460 to 560: base clock 1090 to 1175MHz, boost 1200 to 1275 MHz, and (originally) stream processors 896 to 1024 (http://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/radeon-rx-460 vs. http://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/radeon-rx-560). Seems a pretty similar jump to me.
Not rare or expensive. They're one of the GPUs least-affected by the mining surge - Newegg has a 1024-shader RX 560 for $120:

Now looking at RX 560s in stock in Europe with at least 1200 MHz boost: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=gra16_512&v...+2406+-+RX+560
Only six cards, two of them below the 1275 MHz boost on AMDs site, and only one of them available in more than ten shops. And the prices are still 30-40€ higher than they were supposed to be when announced to replace the 460s.

But I agree, it'd be nice to see how a GCN 1.0 (Pitcairn) or VLIW5 (Barts or Cypress) compared.

Originally posted by Mabhatter View PostI have to agree on the RX 560. It should be toward the top of the pack. It has more of everything than the 550.., unless you got one of the 560’s that’s really a “551” with a bunch of its paths turned off. There’s a serious problem with drivers or apps not seeing that GPU correctly.
Anyway, RX 560 has the same memory bandwidth and ROPs as the RX 550. Even the nerfed RX 460-equivalent, which just has 2 of its 16 CU's disabled.
