GeForce GTX 860M vs Radeon RX 7800 XT comparison

For gaming, the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 860M in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 7800 XT has a significantly 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 Radeon RX 7800 XT also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 860M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 7800 XT at 263 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 7800 XT over the GeForce GTX 860M.
