GeForce MX250 vs GeForce GTX 880M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 880M GPU is faster than the GeForce MX250 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 880M 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. Despite this, the GeForce MX250 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 MX250 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 880M at 122 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 880M over the GeForce MX250.
