Radeon R7 370 vs GeForce MX230 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 370 beats the GeForce MX230 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX230 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 MX230 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, the GeForce MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Radeon R7 370 at 150 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R7 370 over the GeForce MX230.
