Radeon R7 M265 vs GeForce GTX 660M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 660M graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 M265 in our tests.

In our comparison, 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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon R7 M265 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 660M over the Radeon R7 M265.
