Radeon RX 560 vs Radeon Vega 3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 560 GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 3 in gaming.

The Radeon RX 560 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 RX 560 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 3 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 at 80 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 560 over the Radeon Vega 3.
