UHD 730 vs GeForce GTX 660M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660M GPU is faster than the UHD 730 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 660M 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. Despite this, the UHD 730 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 UHD 730 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660M at 50 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 660M over the UHD 730.
