Radeon R7 450 vs GeForce 930M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 930M beats the Radeon R7 450 in gaming performance.

The Radeon R7 450 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 930M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the Radeon R7 450 at 65 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 GeForce 930M is better than the Radeon R7 450.
