GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 580 2048SP benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1070 beats the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1070 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1070 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1070 and the Radeon RX 580 2048SP have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1070 is better than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
