Radeon R7 260X vs GeForce MX150 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R7 260X GPU is faster than the GeForce MX150 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX150 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 MX150 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX150 has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the Radeon R7 260X at 115 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 260X is faster than the GeForce MX150.
