Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

CMP 30HX

2021

Why buy it

  • More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
  • Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
  • 1352.7% HIGHER MSRP
    $799 MSRPvs$55 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 6.1 vs 87.3 G3D/$ ($799 MSRP vs $55 MSRP).
  • 92.3% higher power demand at 125W vs 65W.

Radeon RX 560X (móvel)

2018

Why buy it

  • Costs $744 less on MSRP ($55 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Delivers 1325.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 87.3 vs 6.1 G3D/$ ($55 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
  • Draws 65W instead of 125W, a 60W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.

Quick Answers

So, is CMP 30HX better than Radeon RX 560X (móvel)?
Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 4,892 vs 4,800 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer CMP 30HX is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
CMP 30HX is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2018, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, and a 12nm process instead of 14nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
Radeon RX 560X (móvel) can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $55 MSRP. CMP 30HX is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. CMP 30HX is about 1352.7% more expensive on MSRP at $799 MSRP versus $55 MSRP, and you are getting 1.9% higher G3D Mark. Moving to $799 MSRP gets you newer hardware, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
Is Radeon RX 560X (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below $55 MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. CMP 30HX is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
