Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs GeForce RTX 4080 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 4080 has a significantly 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 RTX 4080 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 4080 at 420 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 is better than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
