GeForce GTX 650 vs Radeon Vega 6 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon Vega 6 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 650 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 650 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 Radeon Vega 6 has a slightly lower TDP at 45 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 Radeon Vega 6 is faster than the GeForce GTX 650.
