AMD Intros the Radeon RX 560 Graphics Card
AMD today announced availability of the Radeon RX 560 upper-mainstream graphics card, "completing" the RX 500-series family. The company had launched the RX 500 family with the RX 550, the RX 570, and the RX 580. The RX 560 is based on the 14 nm "Polaris 11" silicon, and features 1,024 stream processors across 16 GCN compute units, 64 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 2 GB or 4 GB of memory. The card is clocked at 1175 MHz core, with 1275 MHz boost, and 7.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory, working out to 96 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It starts at $99.

Entry level is upper mainstream now? Did I mis something? I thought 480/1060 were "upper mainstream" and the 460 was a entry level.
just AMD logicI prefer they called it as RX 460 XT
x60 - x80 is gaming grade, above that is enthousiast, below that is mainstream I guess.
By "entry-level" you possibly mean "for gaming". Yes, this is an entry-level gaming solution (although you can play something on IGP as well, obviously).
You know, if 80% of computers housed a 1080ti, it would be called "mainstream".
I sick off games so i enjon now like Game of Thrones, free Steam games under 5eu and, Little Nightmares but this one crashes on AMD cpu. Unity games works great on thit.
And this 170 euro monitor LG 24MP59G-P im interested.
I can't stop feeling that if it was an NVIDIA card, it would be crucified in reviews - IMO it gets decent marks just for coming from "the underdog" and because "competition is good".
That said, it's still way more popular than RX570. Honestly, I don't understand why AMD even bothered to release this chip.
Reality check: the RX 460 got 7.8 here on TPU, the GTX 1050 got 8.1. So according to you, the real RX 460 score should be 6.8, but it got 7.8 because it's the product from the underdog and 1050 score should be 9.1 but it got crucified and got 8.1 instead.
