Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs GeForce GTX 690 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP beats the GeForce GTX 690 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 Radeon RX 580 2048SP has a significantly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 690 at 300 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP is faster than the GeForce GTX 690.
