GeForce GTX 680 vs GeForce GTX 1630 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1630 beats the GeForce GTX 680 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1630 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 GTX 1630 also has a significantly 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 GTX 1630 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 680 at 195 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1630 is faster than the GeForce GTX 680.
