GeForce RTX 3080 vs Radeon Vega 8 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3080 GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3080 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 8 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 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 at 320 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3080 is better than the Radeon Vega 8.
