Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Pro W5700 has 58% better value for money than Pro Vega 48.

Detailed specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Form factor & compatibility

Information on Radeon Pro W5700 and Radeon Pro Vega 48 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.

Interface	PCIe 4.0 x16	PCIe 3.0 x16
Length	305 mm	no data
Width	2-slot	no data
Supplementary power connectors	1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin	None

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR6	HBM2
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	8 GB
Memory bus width	256 Bit	2048 Bit
Memory clock speed	14000 MHz	1572 MHz
