GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 880M comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 880M in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1050 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 880M at 122 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 GTX 1050 is better than the GeForce GTX 880M.
