GeForce GTX 950 vs Radeon RX Vega 11 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 950 beats the Radeon RX Vega 11 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 950 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 RX Vega 11 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Radeon RX Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950 at 90 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 950 over the Radeon RX Vega 11.
