RX560 not good to use cryptonight, because RX550 more cheaper and easyly get 450h/s.
User 560 for eth forks mining

RX 550 isn't cheaper in the US. Check out this sorted/filtered list on newegg: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20601296396%20601296397%208000&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&order=PRICE&page=1

If you can get an RX 560 for the same price, or even less, than an RX 550 why wouldn't you? Unless, of course, you could get an RX 570 for MSRP... but that hasn't been possible for a couple of months now.



Ya if they rx560 cost the same as the rx550 i think i also would buy the rx560.
But the rx550 does hash at same speed as rx560 with lower power consumption ( about 35 vs 22 watts in GPU-Z) This is for cryptonight algo only.
But the rx560 is faster in ethash and equihash, so it really depends on what you want,  where i live power costs 24 cents/kw/h, so for me the rx550 is better buy.
If you only pay 5-10 cents for power i would buy the rx560.
