Radeon R5 240 vs GeForce 930MX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 930MX beats the Radeon R5 240 in gaming performance.

The GeForce 930MX has a slightly 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 930MX has a significantly lower TDP at 17 W when compared to the Radeon R5 240 at 50 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce 930MX over the Radeon R5 240.
