Quadro K1200 vs GeForce MX230 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce MX230 GPU is faster than the Quadro K1200 in gaming.

The GeForce MX230 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 MX230 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Quadro K1200 at 45 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce MX230 is faster than the Quadro K1200.
