GeForce GTX 650 vs Radeon Vega 3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 650 beats the Radeon Vega 3 in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 650 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.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 3 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 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 650 is faster than the Radeon Vega 3.
