GeForce MX230 vs GeForce 830M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce MX230 beats the GeForce 830M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX230 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 MX230 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 GeForce MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce 830M at 33 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce MX230 is faster than the GeForce 830M.
