GeForce GTX 960M vs Radeon R7 350 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 960M graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 350 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 960M has a slightly 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 GTX 960M 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 Radeon R7 350 has a slightly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960M at 65 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 960M is better than the Radeon R7 350.
