Radeon Vega 8 vs HD Graphics 4600 (Haswell GT2)
Summary
Reasons to consider Radeon Vega 8 |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Supports FreeSync |
| Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Supports TrueAudio |
| Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider HD Graphics 4600 (Haswell GT2) |
