Radeon R7 450 vs GeForce GT 1030 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GT 1030 beats the Radeon R7 450 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GT 1030 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 GT 1030 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GT 1030 is faster than the Radeon R7 450.
