GeForce GTX 950 vs Radeon R5 430 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 950 GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 430 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 950 has a slightly 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 significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon R5 430 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950 at 90 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 950 is faster than the Radeon R5 430.
