Radeon RX 580 vs GeForce GTX 770 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 580 beats the GeForce GTX 770 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 580 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 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 580 has a slightly lower TDP at 185 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 770 at 230 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 580 is faster than the GeForce GTX 770.
