Radeon Vega 8 vs GeForce GTX 670 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 670 graphics card is better than the Radeon Vega 8 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 670 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly 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 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 670 at 170 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 670 is faster than the Radeon Vega 8.
