Radeon HD 8470 vs Radeon Vega 3 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon Vega 3 graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8470 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon HD 8470 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 3 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8470 at 35 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon Vega 3 is faster than the Radeon HD 8470.
