Radeon RX 550 vs GeForce GTX 1630 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1630 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 550 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1630 has a significantly 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 GeForce GTX 1630 also has a significantly 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 Radeon RX 550 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1630 at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1630 is faster than the Radeon RX 550.
