Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors

No outputs

4x DisplayPort 1.4a

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	7.47	89.71
Recency	13 April 2021	5 January 2024
Chip lithography	7 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	45 Watt	285 Watt

Vega 7 has 533.3% lower power consumption.

RTX 5880 Ada Generation, on the other hand, has a 1100.9% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 2 years, and a 40% more advanced lithography process.

The RTX 5880 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 5880 Ada Generation is a workstation one.
