Radeon R5 430 vs Radeon R5 M255 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon R5 M255 graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 430 in our tests.

The Radeon R5 M255 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 Radeon R5 M255 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R5 M255 over the Radeon R5 430.
