GeForce GTX 660 vs GeForce MX350 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce MX350 beats the GeForce GTX 660 in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 660 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 GTX 660 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 MX350 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce MX350 is faster than the GeForce GTX 660.
