GeForce GTX 970 vs GeForce MX570 A specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 970 GPU is faster than the GeForce MX570 A in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 970 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 970 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX570 A has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 970 at 145 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 970 is better than the GeForce MX570 A.
