GeForce GTX 580 vs Radeon Pro 465: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 580

2010

Why buy it

  • 30.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $1 less on MSRP ($499 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • 50% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (3 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 3 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 597.1% higher power demand at 244W vs 35W.

Radeon Pro 465

2016

Why buy it

  • Draws 35W instead of 244W, a 209W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 580 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 3 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2016 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 0.2% HIGHER MSRP
