GeForce RTX 3070 vs GeForce GTX 770 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 770 in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 3070 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 also has a significantly 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 GeForce RTX 3070 has a slightly lower TDP at 220 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 770 at 230 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3070 is better than the GeForce GTX 770.
