Radeon RX 480 vs GeForce GTX 770 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 480 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 770 in gaming.

The Radeon RX 480 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 480 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 480 has a significantly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 770 at 230 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 480 is better than the GeForce GTX 770.
