Radeon R5 M430 vs GeForce GT 720M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R5 M430 GPU is faster than the GeForce GT 720M in gaming.

The Radeon R5 M430 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. In addition, the Radeon R5 M430 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 R5 M430 is better than the GeForce GT 720M.
