The answer, in literal terms, would be "which revolver?" As a practical matter, revolvers tend to be stronger than automatics, and for a variety of reasons. Automatics are very complex mechanisms, and every part must be strong enough to "take the abuse" of firing whatever round it is chambered for. Revolvers are rather simple, by comparison, and after the hammer drops on the primer, there are no moving parts until the bullet is fired and gone, and pressures have dropped away.

Now, having said that, let me point out that the Desert Eagle can certainly handle much more pressure than many revolvers. For example, their are a bunch of single-action revolvers that can't handle .44 Mag, or even high-pressure .45 Colt (often called .45 Long Colt now, to differentiate it from the .45 ACP.) Certainly, most .38 Special revolvers cannot handle .357 Mag. The Desert Eagle is offered in both .44 Mag and .357 Mag.

But considering the revolvers that are made for higher pressures than .44 Mag, there is really no comparison. A beefy revolver can be made to handle much more power than a Desert Eagle.

Which is better magnum or desert eagle?

"Magnum" refers to the cartridge, not the firearm. The Desert Eagle fires Magnum cartridges. What you're probably asking is the difference between a revolver chambered for Magnum cartridges, and a Desert Eagle semi automatic pistol. Of the two, the revolver would typically be much more practical.
