Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce MX230 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 5700 graphics card is better than the GeForce MX230 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX230 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. Despite this, the Radeon RX 5700 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 MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5700 at 180 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 RX 5700 over the GeForce MX230.
