GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q vs Radeon RX 460 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 460 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon RX 460 has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q at 90 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q is faster than the Radeon RX 460.
