Radeon HD 8570 vs Radeon HD 8950 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon HD 8570 beats the Radeon HD 8950 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon HD 8950 has a slightly 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon HD 8950 has significantly more memory with 3 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon HD 8570 has a significantly lower TDP at 66 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8950 at 225 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon HD 8570 is better than the Radeon HD 8950.
