Radeon RX 580X vs GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop beats the Radeon RX 580X in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 580X 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. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 580X has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop is faster than the Radeon RX 580X.
