Radeon R7 430 vs GeForce GTX 660M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660M GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 430 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 660M 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 GTX 660M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the Radeon R7 430 and the GeForce GTX 660M have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 660M is faster than the Radeon R7 430.
