HD 515 vs GeForce GTX 880M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 880M graphics card is better than the HD 515 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 880M has a significantly 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 GTX 880M 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 HD 515 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 880M at 122 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 GTX 880M is better than the HD 515.
