Radeon R9 270 vs GeForce 920MX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R9 270 beats the GeForce 920MX in gaming performance.

The GeForce 920MX 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 920MX 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.

In addition, the GeForce 920MX has a significantly lower TDP at 16 W when compared to the Radeon R9 270 at 150 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 Radeon R9 270 over the GeForce 920MX.
