Radeon R7 360 vs GeForce GTX 650 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R7 360 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 650 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 650 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 650 has a significantly lower TDP at 64 W when compared to the Radeon R7 360 at 100 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 360 is faster than the GeForce GTX 650.
