GeForce MX230 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce MX230 in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop 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 RTX 4060 Laptop 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 RTX 4060 Laptop at 115 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 RTX 4060 Laptop is faster than the GeForce MX230.
