Radeon R7 430 vs GeForce GTX 880M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 880M graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 430 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 880M 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 880M also has a slightly 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 Radeon R7 430 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 880M at 122 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 GeForce GTX 880M is faster than the Radeon R7 430.
