HD 530 vs Radeon R9 390 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R9 390 graphics card is better than the HD 530 in our tests.

The Radeon R9 390 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. In addition, the Radeon R9 390 also 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 HD 530 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon R9 390 at 275 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R9 390 is better than the HD 530.
