GeForce GTX 950 vs Radeon R7 M265 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 950 beats the Radeon R7 M265 in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 950 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 950 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon R7 M265 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 950 over the Radeon R7 M265.
