Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has a significantly 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 GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER also has a significantly 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 RTX 4070 SUPER at 220 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER over the Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
