Pros & cons summary

Performance score	7.46	45.92
Recency	13 April 2021	12 February 2024
Chip lithography	7 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	45 Watt	70 Watt

Vega 7 has 55.6% lower power consumption.

RTX 2000 Ada Generation, on the other hand, has a 515.5% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 2 years, and a 40% more advanced lithography process.

The RTX 2000 Ada Generation is our recommended choice as it beats the Radeon Vega 7 in performance tests.

Be aware that Radeon Vega 7 is a notebook card while RTX 2000 Ada Generation is a workstation one.
