GeForce GTX 960 vs HD 610 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 960 graphics card is better than the HD 610 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 960 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 960 also 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 HD 610 has a significantly lower TDP at 5 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960 at 120 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 960 is better than the HD 610.
