GeForce GTX 970 vs Arc A370M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 970 GPU is faster than the Arc A370M in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 970 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 slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Arc A370M has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 970 at 145 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 970 is faster than the Arc A370M.
