Radeon R9 350 vs GeForce GTX 780 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 780 graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 350 in our tests.

The Radeon R9 350 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 GeForce GTX 780 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon R9 350 has a significantly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 at 250 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 GeForce GTX 780 is faster than the Radeon R9 350.
