HD 530 vs GeForce GTX 650 specs and performance

For gaming, the HD 530 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 650 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 650 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 HD 530 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 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 HD 530 is better than the GeForce GTX 650.
