GeForce RTX 3070 vs Radeon R5 430 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 430 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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 Radeon R5 430 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 at 220 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3070 over the Radeon R5 430.
