Radeon R5 340 vs GeForce GTX 650 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R5 340 beats the GeForce GTX 650 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 650 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 GTX 650 has a slightly lower TDP at 64 W when compared to the Radeon R5 340 at 65 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 Radeon R5 340 over the GeForce GTX 650.
