Radeon R5 M330 vs Radeon R7 M260X comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R7 M260X graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 M330 in our tests.

The Radeon R5 M330 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 Radeon R5 M330 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R7 M260X is better than the Radeon R5 M330.
