We compared 300+ processors to find the perfect matches for your Radeon RX 560DX. Scientific analysis using the DPI™ pressure engine.
A high-performance CPU ensuring this GPU is never held back, even at 1080p.
The most cost-efficient pairing that maintains 100% GPU utilization.
A value-oriented CPU that keeps pace with this card in most modern titles.
When pairing a CPU with the Radeon RX 560DX, you need to ensure the processor can feed the graphics card quickly enough or find the "sweet spot" where both components are fully utilized.
Bottleneck Rule: A CPU-bound bottleneck (where the CPU is at 100% and GPU is lower) causes micro-stuttering. A GPU-bound bottleneck is generally "smoother" for the user.
The Radeon RX 560DX scores 43 on the DPI™ Index. We recommend processors with a similar performance index to avoid underutilizing your hardware investment.
