GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs RTX A4000 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the RTX A4000 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in gaming.

Our database shows that the RTX A4000 Laptop 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. In addition, the RTX A4000 Laptop also has a significantly 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 RTX A4000 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 140 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 RTX A4000 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
