GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs RTX A2000 benchmarks

For gaming, the RTX A2000 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in our tests.

Our database shows that 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 RTX A2000 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the RTX A2000 has a significantly lower TDP at 70 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 250 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the RTX A2000 is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
