Radeon R5 240 vs Radeon HD 8570 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon HD 8570 GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 240 in gaming.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the Radeon R5 240 and the Radeon HD 8570 have the same base clock speed.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon R5 240 has a slightly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8570 at 66 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon HD 8570 is better than the Radeon R5 240.
