GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs GeForce MX230 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce MX230 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX230 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 MX230 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti at 150 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 660 Ti is better than the GeForce MX230.
