Radeon RX 6800M vs GeForce RTX 4070 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 6800M in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6800M 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 6800M 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 6800M has a significantly lower TDP at 145 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4070 over the Radeon RX 6800M.
