Radeon RX 470 vs RTX A500 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the RTX A500 Laptop graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 470 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 470 has a slightly 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 RTX A500 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the RTX A500 Laptop is better than the Radeon RX 470.
