Radeon Vega 8 vs GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER at 340 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 RTX 4080 SUPER is faster than the Radeon Vega 8.
