Radeon RX 480 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 480 in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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 SUPER also has a significantly 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 RTX 4070 SUPER at 220 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER over the Radeon RX 480.
