GeForce GTX 950 vs Radeon RX 5500M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 5500M GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 950 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 5500M 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 Radeon RX 5500M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 5500M 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 addition, the Radeon RX 5500M has a slightly lower TDP at 85 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 Radeon RX 5500M is faster than the GeForce GTX 950.
