Radeon Vega 8 vs Quadro RTX 3000 specs and performance

For gaming, the Quadro RTX 3000 graphics card is better than the Radeon Vega 8 in our tests.

The Quadro RTX 3000 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 Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Quadro RTX 3000 at 80 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro RTX 3000 is better than the Radeon Vega 8.
