HD 515 vs Radeon Vega 3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon Vega 3 beats the HD 515 in gaming performance.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the HD 515 and the Radeon Vega 3 have the same base clock speed. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 3 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 Radeon Vega 3 have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon Vega 3 over the HD 515.
