Radeon R7 M350 vs GeForce GTX 650 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 650 beats the Radeon R7 M350 in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 650 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon R7 M350 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon R7 M350 has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 650 over the Radeon R7 M350.
