In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 560D 2GB are marginally better than the AMD Radeon RX 460 2GB.
The RX 560D and the RX 460 have both the same core clock speed and the same Texture Fill Rate. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 560D and the RX 460 have both the same core clock speed and the same Pixel Fill Rate. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 560D was released less than a year after the RX 460, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
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 560D 2GB and the Radeon RX 460 2GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the Radeon RX 560D 2GB and the Radeon RX 460 2GB are the same, which means the RX 560D and the RX 460 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
Both the Radeon RX 560D 2GB and the Radeon RX 460 2GB have 896 Shader Processing Units. While the two GPUs have the same number of SPUs, the actual performance delivered by the RX 460 is 1075 and by the RX 560D is 1075. Knowing that the shader performance of the RX 460 is superior, it is not necessary to examine the GPUs' respective Texture and Pixel Fill Rates.
The Radeon RX 560D 2GB requires 75 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 460 2GB requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the RX 560D and a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the RX 460. The two GPUs require the same amount of wattage to run. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.

| Mini Review | Overview Radeon RX 560D 2GB is a middle-class graphics card based on the third revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture It equips a GPU codenamed Polaris 10 which is a 1st gen Polaris GPU, offering 896 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it requires at least a 350W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance This graphics card is rebrand of the Radeon RX 460 and was designed and marketed towards cryptocurrency miners and low to mid-end gaming. 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 560D 2GB can play most modern games at medium graphics selection on a 1600p screen res and expect around 45+FPS. THe low TDP makes it a cost effective choice for cryptocurrency miners. System Suggestions Radeon RX 460 2GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1600x900. We recommend a mid range CPU and 8GB of system memory for optimal performance. | Overview Radeon RX 460 2GB is a middle-class graphics card based on the third revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture.
