Radeon RX 560 vs GeForce RTX 4070 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 560 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4070 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 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 4070 has significantly more memory with 12 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon RX 560 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 at 300 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 is better than the Radeon RX 560.
