Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs GeForce GT 1030 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP GPU is faster than the GeForce GT 1030 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GT 1030 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. In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 also 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 GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 150 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 580 2048SP over the GeForce GT 1030.
