Radeon RX 480 vs Radeon Pro 5300 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon Pro 5300 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 480 in our tests.

The Radeon RX 480 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. Despite this, the Radeon Pro 5300 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Radeon Pro 5300 has a significantly lower TDP at 85 W when compared to the Radeon RX 480 at 150 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 Pro 5300 is better than the Radeon RX 480.
