Radeon RX 5600 XT vs Radeon RX 590 GME benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 590 GME in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 590 GME has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the Radeon RX 5600 XT 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 RX 5600 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the Radeon RX 590 GME at 175 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 5600 XT is better than the Radeon RX 590 GME.
