GeForce GTX 680 vs GeForce MX330 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 680 GPU is faster than the GeForce MX330 in gaming.

The GeForce MX330 has a significantly 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 MX330 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 MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 680 at 195 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 680 is better than the GeForce MX330.
