HD 4600 vs GeForce GTX 780 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 780 GPU is faster than the HD 4600 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 780 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the HD 4600 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, the HD 4600 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 780 over the HD 4600.
