Radeon R5 M430 vs GeForce GTX 660M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660M GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 M430 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 660M 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. Despite this, the Radeon R5 M430 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 GTX 660M over the Radeon R5 M430.
