Radeon R5 M330 vs GeForce GTX 650 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 650 graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 M330 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 650 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon R5 M330 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon R5 M330 has a significantly lower TDP at 18 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 650 is faster than the Radeon R5 M330.
