Radeon RX 6900 XT vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 6900 XT in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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 GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER also 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 addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has a slightly lower TDP at 220 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6900 XT at 300 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is better than the Radeon RX 6900 XT.
