HD 4600 vs GeForce GTX 650 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 650 graphics card is better than the HD 4600 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 650 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 HD 4600 has a slightly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 650 is better than the HD 4600.
