Radeon HD 8790M vs GeForce MX330 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce MX330 graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8790M in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX330 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 MX330 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce MX330 is faster than the Radeon HD 8790M.
