GeForce GTX 970M vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER beats the GeForce GTX 970M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER also has a significantly 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 GeForce GTX 970M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at 220 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 RTX 4070 SUPER is faster than the GeForce GTX 970M.
