GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 5600M in gaming.

In our comparison, 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 Radeon RX 5600M has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 6 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 RX 5600M has a significantly lower TDP at 150 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 RX 5600M.
