GeForce GTX 950 vs Radeon Vega 11 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 950 GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 11 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 950 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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Radeon 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 Vega 11.
