Radeon R9 350 vs GeForce GTX 650 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 650 graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 350 in our tests.

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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon R9 350 has a slightly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 650 is faster than the Radeon R9 350.
