Radeon R5 240 vs Radeon Vega 3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R5 240 beats the Radeon Vega 3 in gaming performance.

The Radeon R5 240 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 Vega 3 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon R5 240 at 50 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R5 240 is better than the Radeon Vega 3.
