Radeon Vega 8 vs GeForce GTX 880M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 880M beats the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 880M 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 880M at 122 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 880M is faster than the Radeon Vega 8.
