GeForce GTX 950 vs HD 4600 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 950 GPU is faster than the HD 4600 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 950 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 950 also has a slightly 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 HD 4600 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950 at 90 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 950 is better than the HD 4600.
