GeForce RTX 4070 vs Radeon RX 7800 XT comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 4070 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4070 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 7800 XT has slightly more memory with 16 GiB of memory compared to 12 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 7800 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 263 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 at 300 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 Radeon RX 7800 XT is faster than the GeForce RTX 4070.
