GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs HD 520 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPU is faster than the HD 520 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has a significantly 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 1080 Ti also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the HD 520 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is faster than the HD 520.
