Radeon R5 240 vs GeForce 830M specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon R5 240 graphics card is better than the GeForce 830M in our tests.

The GeForce 830M 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 830M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the Radeon R5 240 at 50 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 Radeon R5 240 is better than the GeForce 830M.
