Radeon R5 340 vs GeForce GT 1030 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GT 1030 GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 340 in gaming.

The GeForce GT 1030 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 GT 1030 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.

In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the Radeon R5 340 at 65 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GT 1030 over the Radeon R5 340.
