Radeon R5 430 vs Radeon R7 M260 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon R7 M260 graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 430 in our tests.

The Radeon R7 M260 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 R7 M260 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R7 M260 is better than the Radeon R5 430.
