GeForce GTX 680 vs Radeon Vega 11 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 680 graphics card is better than the Radeon Vega 11 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 680 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 11 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 680 at 195 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 680 is faster than the Radeon Vega 11.
