Anyone playing with an RX560?

[LastTourniquet]

In the near future my PC build will be:
i7-6700K
16GB RAM
RX 560

I know that they all meet the requirements but I was just wondering what sorts of settings anyone who has this card uses and what sort of frame rates you are getting with those settings. For example is a smooth 60fps possible with medium settings? I won't have all of the peices for around 1-2 weeks so I am just trying to build up my knowledge base. Thank you in advance for your replies.

RX 560 is a little below the GTX 760 and only a little above the R7 260X:

It's pretty much just at min spec for the game, specs which are aimed at 1080p/locked 30FPS on low/med settings. The CPU will help boost it a bit, but there's no getting around the fact the RX 560 is an entry-level GPU.

Most people can get 30-50 FPS on a mix of low/med with similar specs. Here's an RX 560 and the settings/FPS you can expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3tFLG2LscM Keep in mind that "Mid" resolution scaling means that the game is being scaled below 1080p, so that video is not even running true 1080p but a % of it (probably 75% if I had to guess because low appears to be 50%). For true 1080p using High resolution scaling, FPS would be closer to around the 30 FPS expected for min spec GPUs.

That FPS will of course be much worse during fights like Teostra and Kushala that use a lot of particles and hit even GTX 1080 Ti's with big FPS drops. You may see dips into 20-30 or even below during those fights in the late game.

If you want medium/high locked 60FPS at actual 1080p without resolution scaling, you'd want something more along the lines of an RX 480 or 570X/580 to get you closer to it. The RX 560 is fairly weak and won't do an i7-6700k justice, IMO. It's more of something you'd pair with an i3 or Ryzen 3 1200/2200 for a budget build.

Well I am getting a bunch of parts for free from a friend and the RX560 is part of that package. Also the RX560 that I am getting from him is the 4gig version not the 2gig version shown in the video, not sure how relevant that is.

4GB version will be able to use Full textures and possibly run 1440p instead of 1080p (the FPS hit would be terrible though), that's about the only difference having more VRAM will make. The GPU itself will be the same and so FPS ranges won't change unless the VRAM on the 2GB were overcommitted.

Hey, for free I'd take it. You can always sell the 560 used and pick up another GPU down the road. I just wouldn't buy one because they're $150-$170 that could be put together with another $100 or so to get an RX 580 8GB, which is more than double the GPU in every way: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-580-vs-AMD-RX-560/3923vs3926

Yea I have never used AMD before so I don't know anything about it. Good info to know.
