Radeon R9 350 vs Radeon RX 550 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 550 GPU is faster than the Radeon R9 350 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 550 has a slightly 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon RX 550 has significantly more memory with 4 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 RX 550 has a slightly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon R9 350 at 60 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 RX 550 is faster than the Radeon R9 350.
