Radeon Vega 8 vs GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop beats the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop 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 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 GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop is better than the Radeon Vega 8.
