GeForce MX130 vs GeForce GTX 660 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 660 graphics card is better than the GeForce MX130 in our tests.

The GeForce MX130 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 MX130 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX130 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 660 is faster than the GeForce MX130.
