HD 515 vs HD 520 comparison

In our benchmarks, the HD 520 beats the HD 515 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that both the HD 515 and HD 520 both have the same core clock speed. Despite this, the HD 520 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, both the HD 515 and the HD 520 have an identical TDP. 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 HD 520 is better than the HD 515.
