Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs GeForce GTX 780 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP beats the GeForce GTX 780 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 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 780 at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP is better than the GeForce GTX 780.
