GeForce GTX 960M vs Radeon R8 M445DX comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 960M beats the Radeon R8 M445DX in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 960M has a slightly 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 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 960M is better than the Radeon R8 M445DX.
