GeForce GTX 680 vs GeForce MX350 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 680 graphics card is better than the GeForce MX350 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 680 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 680 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX350 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 680 at 195 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 680 over the GeForce MX350.
