Radeon RX 580 vs GeForce GTX TITAN X benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX TITAN X GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 580 in gaming.

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 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 has a slightly lower TDP at 185 W when compared to the GeForce GTX TITAN X 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 GeForce GTX TITAN X is better than the Radeon RX 580.
