Radeon Vega 3 vs GeForce GTX 880M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 880M beats the Radeon Vega 3 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 880M 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 3 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 Vega 3 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 880M at 122 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 GeForce GTX 880M is better than the Radeon Vega 3.
