In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 460 2GB are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8.
The RX 460 has a 159 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX Vega, but the RX Vega has 24 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 460. As a result, the RX Vega exhibits a 13.5 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RX 460. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 460 has a 159 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX Vega, but the RX Vega has 16 more Render Output Units than the RX 460. As a result, the RX Vega exhibits a 12.4 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RX 460. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX Vega was released over a year more recently than the RX 460, and so the RX Vega is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RX 460.
The RX Vega has 2048 MB more video memory than the RX 460, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX Vega also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX Vega has 358.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 460, which means that the memory performance of the RX Vega is massively better than the RX 460.
The Radeon RX Vega 8 has 1280 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 460 2GB has 896. However, the actual shader performance of the RX Vega is 841 and the actual shader performance of the RX 460 is 1075. The RX 460 having 234 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RX Vega performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The Radeon RX 460 2GB requires 75 Watts to run but there is no entry for the RX Vega. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the RX Vega and a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the RX 460. The RX Vega has been recommended a PSU with 50 Watts more than the RX 460. The difference is significant enough that the RX Vega may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 460.
