Radeon R9 M375X vs Radeon RX 540 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon RX 540 graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 M375X in our tests.

The Radeon RX 540 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 RX 540 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 540 is better than the Radeon R9 M375X.
