GeForce GTX 760 vs GeForce GTX 780 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 780 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 760 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 760 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 760 also 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 780 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 760 has a significantly lower TDP at 170 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 780 is better than the GeForce GTX 760.
