AMD Radeon R7 240 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670

Radeon R7 240 vs GeForce GTX 670 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 670 beats the Radeon R7 240 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 670 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 GeForce GTX 670 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 670 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon R7 240 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 670 at 170 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 670 is better than the Radeon R7 240.
