GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q vs Radeon RX 5500M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 5500M in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the Radeon RX 5500M has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

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 5500M has a slightly lower TDP at 85 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 5500M.
