GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce GTX 770 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 770 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 980 Ti 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 770 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 770 has a slightly lower TDP at 230 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 980 Ti over the GeForce GTX 770.
