GeForce GTX 970 vs Radeon Pro 5300 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 970 GPU is faster than the Radeon Pro 5300 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 970 has a slightly 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 Radeon Pro 5300 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 Radeon Pro 5300 has a significantly lower TDP at 85 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 Radeon Pro 5300.
