Radeon R5 M430 vs GeForce 940M comparison

For gaming, the GeForce 940M graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 M430 in our tests.

The GeForce 940M 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 GeForce 940M 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce 940M over the Radeon R5 M430.
