HD 530 vs GeForce GTX 690 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 690 graphics card is better than the HD 530 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 690 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 GTX 690 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 530 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 690 at 300 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 690 is faster than the HD 530.
