GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce MX330 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 950M graphics card is better than the GeForce MX330 in our tests.

The GeForce MX330 has a significantly 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 MX330 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 GeForce MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 950M is faster than the GeForce MX330.
