Positive feedback also frequently mentions its ease of installation, quiet operation, and effective cooling. While some users noted limitations in memory capacity and resolution capabilities for higher-end gaming, the overall experience is largely viewed favorably. The card's compact size is also appreciated by some users.

    Great budget gaming card

    This is a great budget gaming card. I built it up with an i5-7400, 8 GB DDR2400 RAM and a 500 GB SSD. All is hooked up to a 30-inch 2560x1600 IPS display. Games I play include Lord of the Rings Online, Guild Wars 1/2, Diablo series, CS:GO, Borderlands 1/2. Looking to make some cash I sold my GTX 1070 and put this Radeon RX560 into the rig. I see absolutely no difference in real-world gaming experience between the two cards at 2560x1600. I know on paper and by tech specs there is no comparison between these classes of cards (and that the GTX 1070 blows it away). But all of the above games assign highest/best quality settings to both cards when I auto-detect the graphics properties. Sure, FRAPS tells me a different story when I actually watch framerates. But as far as gaming experience goes I see absolutely no difference. Actually, I prefer the colors and saturation of the AMD Radeon RX560 over the GTX 1070. Bottom line - in more demanding top tier games this card would most likely be trounced by other offerings. But if you are playing games similar to those listed above, even at 2K resolutions, the RX 560 will do perfectly well and provide you quite a satisying experience without stuttering or lag. I hope this helps someone making a decision on their purchase.

    I bought this for my son’s computer to allow him to play games and I have to say for the money this was the best option I had and it was well worth it. He now plays games just as well as I can on my computer even though I have much more expensive equipment without any issues. He doesn’t get the mad frame rate but at medium high settings he’s happy and so am I.

    FYI - RX 560's come in two forms now - 1024 shaders and 896 shaders. AMD doesn't do a good job being clear on which card is which. This one's the 896 shader version. Read the fine print before you buy but the actual performance difference is only about 3%-10% real world. Pro's - Very good FPS performance on 720p. Ok FPS performance on 1080p. (This is not for 4k games but does support 4k video). The card runs cool and quiet. DX12 and Vulcan support. It's a vast improvement on the Intel 530 integrated graphics it's meant to replace. It's a few FPS slower than the 1024 shader version and the GTX 1050 2gb cards (varies from game to game) - but it's less expensive too. If you want 60 FPS+ 1080p gaming you should get an RX 570 or a GTX 1060 anyway. This one's attached to an older 720p TV and does very well in e-sports titles. Most AAA titles can be played at lower to mid settings. The most demanding titles will display but won't play well. It need's a dedicated power connector because of t's power requirements so check your power supply to make sure it's big enough. I needed a budget priced card to give a handed down gaming PC some punch for my son on his TV (I kept my GTX 1070 for me). This works great. If his TV (monitor) was 1080p I would have gotten a higher end card.

    Mind you, this is not a "premium" graphics card, but to me and my boys it is a GREAT investment. Previous card was an NVidia GeForce 970 and this card outperforms it. For example, in an older game, Just Cause 3, the framerates at 1080p jumped from 45-50 to an average of 110. This is but one small example. The fans are much quieter and overall the card runs much cooler. According to HWMonitor Pro, on Idle it runs about 43 Celsius and the highest I've seen under load is about 90 celsius. I had bought a GeForce 1050 Ti, but I believe this outperforms that card as well. Definitely worth the money if you're looking to upgrade your rig. The system specs are as follows: i7-4400 16GB DDR3 256GB SSD 1TB 7200 RPM HDD AMD XFX RX560 450 watt power supply Windows 10 Pro

    This card works well. Got it for my sons to update their computer so they could play fortnite and Minecraft. Paired it with a 600 watt power supply and the computer purrs. Had no issues with installation, had it ready within five minutes. By the way this is my first time installing both a graphics card and power supply. Also quick note: it is compatible with windows 7, and 10. It will not work or be detected with windows 8/8.1.

    Was a great price and was on the shelf for me to pick out!!!! I didnt need anything fancy just a nice GPU to help run my games when my motherboard IO went out. Saved me alot of hassle from buying a new computer. Best buy staff were super helpful in my area also!!! I even came back to buy more gear later that day cuz they helped me so much. This product improved my gaming and video experience immensely without breaking the bank.

    I've been using this graphics card for a few weeks. It replaces an old malfunctioning graphics card in my 2014 Lenovo. I had to also upgrade the power supply to 600W. The card is very quiet, even when under load. The card handles most things with ease. The cooling fan rarely has to start up unless I'm playing a game. The heat sink alone does a good job keeping the chip cool. So far I've been very happy.

    I installed this in a 7700k ITX build to upgrade the built-in CPU video. The discrete video card performance is very snappy and responsive on a 4k monitor compared to that built into the CPU. Installation was simple, and downloading and installation of the driver from AMD went without a hitch. I do recommend as a simple upgrade from built in CPU video.

    Bare Bones Card For New 4K Monitor

    I needed a card to drive a new 4K monitor I purchased, and this one fits the bill. If I had one gripe about it, the card could have come with two display ports instead of only one. However, the quality is good, it runs very quietly, and the output quality is terrific.

    I bought this video card as part of a budget conscious gaming build. I wasn't looking for the latest and greatest of anything. My goal was to play my current Steam library on 60 fps and medium settings and this card does the job. At the time this card was on sale for $110 and well worth the money since bit coin mining has increased the industry pricing.

    I got the XFX RX 560 4GB with GDDR5 for the great price and the fact the GPU takes ONE (not Two) 6 pin power plug for backup power. It runs quiet and cool even when pressed into service for game mode. It also powers thru other tasks, that use the GPU for help (Audio / Video editing). It will fit into almost any computer case easily. (I will add: NOT in "1/2 height" cases though!) Great GPU for upgrading an older system too!

    This is a late review. I purchased this card to upgrade from my Intel's integrated graphics CPU, so I could play games. I was very happy with it. Moreover, it worked just fine for RE2 and RE3 Remakes with decent frame rates on moderate settings. For casual gamers, this card gives you a lot of bang for your buck if you're on a budget.

    I bought this graphics card to upgrade my kid's computer so he could play online games without lag and it works like a charm. He's able to play Apex Legends and Overwatch without the choppiness that the on-board graphics port was sticking him with and he's getting a better playing experience.

    Love how easy it was to install. I went to the their website to get the latest drivers and bam.. all good! It comes with a CD but I wanted to make sure I had the latest ones installed. I've played League of Legends at very high levels and it works perfectly. Running Photoshop and Illustrator is a breeze. I can watch Netflix perfectly too. ;)

    I got this card for a buddy but he ended up getting a different gpu after he realized he could spend a little more. It's nice and small and perfect for a mini micro atx case. It's cheap and performs well for the price. Definitely can't compare this to my 1080 as they are in different leagues. But for him, it worked. He just wanted more.

    I have had no issues in the near year that i purchased it besides the DP stopping to work. Fast and easy replacement with no issues to speak of. Card plays Ark on high settings with some settings tweaked up to epic with no issues and near 60fps.

    I was looking to re-build the guts of my aging PC with a new motherboard, CPU and video card. I needed something that could pump out to a 4K monitor but nothing costing a crazy amount of money. I play some PC games, but nothing that intense, so this seemed perfect. For my needs it is. I can play 4K videos without it choking, gaming on it does great, but you're not going to play many games at max quality with this card. Due to it only having a single fan, it's not loud at all. In fact, it's absolutely silent at times because the fan will turn on only when absolutely necessary, which is only when you're viewing videos or playing games. Super-simple to install and setup. Fits an ATX case with no problem. If you need a 4K-capable graphics card, but don't want to break the bank, this is for you.
