GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce GTX 650 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 950M beats the GeForce GTX 650 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 650 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 650 has a slightly lower TDP at 64 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950M at 75 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 950M is better than the GeForce GTX 650.
