Pros & cons summary

Performance score	2.74	18.00
Recency	4 November 2015	11 April 2018
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	8 GB
Chip lithography	28 nm	14 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	68 Watt	185 Watt

NVS 810 has 172.1% lower power consumption.

RX 580X, on the other hand, has a 556.9% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 2 years, a 300% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 100% more advanced lithography process.

The Radeon RX 580X is our recommended choice as it beats the NVS 810 in performance tests.

Be aware that NVS 810 is a workstation graphics card while Radeon RX 580X is a desktop one.
