GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs HD 4000 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti beats the HD 4000 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 980 Ti 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 GTX 980 Ti also 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 HD 4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 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 HD 4000.
