GeForce GTX 960M vs Radeon Pro W5700 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 960M beats the Radeon Pro W5700 in gaming performance.

The Radeon Pro W5700 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 Radeon Pro W5700 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 960M has a significantly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Radeon Pro W5700 at 205 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 960M is better than the Radeon Pro W5700.
