Radeon RX 470 vs GeForce GTX 780 Ti benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 470 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 470 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 470 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 470 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon RX 470 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 Ti 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 Ti over the Radeon RX 470.
