GeForce RTX 4070 vs RTX A6000 benchmarks

For gaming, the RTX A6000 graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 4070 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4070 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 4070 also 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, both the GeForce RTX 4070 and the RTX A6000 have an identical TDP. 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 RTX A6000 is better than the GeForce RTX 4070.
