GeForce GTX 860M vs Radeon Vega 11 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Vega 11 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 860M in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 860M 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 11 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 860M at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Vega 11 is better than the GeForce GTX 860M.
