Radeon RX 560X vs GeForce GTX 950M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 950M graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 560X in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 560X 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 Radeon RX 560X also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 560X and the GeForce GTX 950M have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 950M is better than the Radeon RX 560X.
