GeForce GTX 780 vs GeForce MX230 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 780 GPU is faster than the GeForce MX230 in gaming.

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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 at 250 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 780 is better than the GeForce MX230.
