Radeon RX 590 vs Radeon Vega 11 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 590 beats the Radeon Vega 11 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 590 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 Radeon RX 590 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 Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon RX 590 at 175 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 Radeon RX 590 is better than the Radeon Vega 11.
