AMD Radeon RX 5700 vs AMD Radeon RX 580

Radeon RX 5700 vs Radeon RX 580 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 5700 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 580 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 5700 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 5700 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 5700 has a slightly lower TDP at 180 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 at 185 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 5700 over the Radeon RX 580.
