GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon HD 8570 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8570 in our tests.

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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon HD 8570 has a significantly lower TDP at 66 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is faster than the Radeon HD 8570.
