Radeon R9 M360 vs GeForce GTX 660 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 660 beats the Radeon R9 M360 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 660 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon R9 M360 has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 660 over the Radeon R9 M360.
