GeForce GTX 780 vs RTX A500 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the RTX A500 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 780 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 780 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. Despite this, the RTX A500 Laptop has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the RTX A500 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 780.
