GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER beats the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a significantly 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 RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti has a slightly lower TDP at 250 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER at 285 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is better than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
