GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon RX Vega 11 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 950M in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 950M 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. Despite this, the Radeon RX Vega 11 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Radeon RX Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950M at 75 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX Vega 11 is better than the GeForce GTX 950M.
