GeForce MX230 vs GeForce RTX 5070 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5070 beats the GeForce MX230 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 5070 has a significantly 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 RTX 5070 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5070 at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5070 is better than the GeForce MX230.
