GeForce GTX 960 vs GeForce GTX 1630 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 960 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1630 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1630 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1630 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960 at 120 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 GeForce GTX 960 is better than the GeForce GTX 1630.
