GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs Radeon Vega 8 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q graphics card is better than the Radeon Vega 8 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q over the Radeon Vega 8.
