GeForce GTX 960 vs Radeon R7 M445 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 960 beats the Radeon R7 M445 in gaming performance.

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 maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 960 over the Radeon R7 M445.
