Radeon R7 430 vs Radeon RX 460 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 460 beats the Radeon R7 430 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 460 has a significantly 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 Radeon RX 460 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 Radeon R7 430 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon RX 460 at 75 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 460 is better than the Radeon R7 430.
