NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 vs AMD Radeon RX 580

GeForce RTX 3080 vs Radeon RX 580 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3080 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 580 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3080 has a slightly 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 GeForce RTX 3080 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 3080 has slightly more memory with 10 GiB of memory compared to 8 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon RX 580 has a significantly lower TDP at 185 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 at 320 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 RTX 3080 over the Radeon RX 580.
