Radeon R9 350 vs Radeon Vega 8 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon Vega 8 beats the Radeon R9 350 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R9 350 has a significantly 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.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 8 has a slightly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon R9 350 at 60 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 Vega 8 is better than the Radeon R9 350.
