Radeon R5 240 vs Radeon R7 M340 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R7 M340 graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 240 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon R5 240 has a slightly 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon R7 M340 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R7 M340 is better than the Radeon R5 240.
