GeForce GTX 560 SE vs Radeon R7 240
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 560 SE |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Supports PhysX |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider Radeon R7 240 |
| 120 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 560 SE . |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Supports Mantle |
| Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 560 SE
