GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs HD 4600 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU is faster than the HD 4600 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti 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. Despite this, the HD 4600 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 4600 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is faster than the HD 4600.
