Radeon RX 590 vs RTX A500 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 590 beats the RTX A500 Laptop in gaming performance.

The Radeon RX 590 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 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 590 is better than the RTX A500 Laptop.
