Radeon RX 6800 XT vs GeForce GTX 950M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6800 XT beats the GeForce GTX 950M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 6800 XT has a significantly 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 6800 XT 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 GeForce GTX 950M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6800 XT at 300 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 6800 XT is faster than the GeForce GTX 950M.
