Radeon R9 350 vs GeForce GTX 660 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660 GPU is faster than the Radeon R9 350 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 660 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 GeForce GTX 660 has significantly more memory with 3 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 R9 350 has a significantly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 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 660 over the Radeon R9 350.
