Radeon R9 390 vs GeForce 930M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R9 390 beats the GeForce 930M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R9 390 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 Radeon R9 390 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 930M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the Radeon R9 390 at 275 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 390 over the GeForce 930M.
