GeForce GTX 690 vs Arc A370M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 690 graphics card is better than the Arc A370M in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 690 has a significantly 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 Arc A370M has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Arc A370M has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 690 at 300 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 690 is better than the Arc A370M.
