Radeon Vega 8 vs Radeon RX 570 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 570 GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 570 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly 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 Radeon RX 570 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 570 is better than the Radeon Vega 8.
