Radeon R7 240 vs GeForce GT 1030 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GT 1030 GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 240 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GT 1030 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 GeForce GT 1030 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.

In addition, both the Radeon R7 240 and the GeForce GT 1030 have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GT 1030 is better than the Radeon R7 240.
