Radeon R9 Fury vs Radeon RX 480 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R9 Fury GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 480 in gaming.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 480 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 480 has a significantly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the Radeon R9 Fury at 275 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 R9 Fury is faster than the Radeon RX 480.
