NVIDIA GeForce MX130 vs AMD Radeon R5 M430
NVIDIA GeForce MX130
► remove from comparisonThe Nvidia GeForce MX130 is a mid-range laptop graphics card with DirectX 12 support (FL 11_0) based on the older Maxwell architecture. It is a renamed GeForce 940MX and was announced in late 2017. It can be equipped with fast GDDR5 or slower DDR3 graphics memory.
The performance should be identical to the corresponding 940MX version (see our extensive benchmarks) and therefore positioned below the GeForce MX150. Demanding games like Ark Survival Evolved or PUBG may not run fluently even in the lowest detail settings. Less demanding games like Fifa 18 (with a powerful CPU) or Overwatch are also playable in medium settings.
The TDP of the card should be rated at about 15 to 30 Watt (depending on the version, clock speeds and memory). Therefore, the GPU is best suited for laptops from 13-inch and up.
AMD Radeon R5 M430
► remove from comparisonThe AMD Radeon R5 M430 is an entry level graphics card for laptops. It was announced in the Lenovo Yoga 510 (14-inch-model) in early 2016. Technically it is similar to the older Radeon R5 M330 / M335 or R7 M340 but with a lower core clock of only 955 MHz (in the IdeaPad 110). It features 320 unified shaders and 64 Bit DDR3 memory bus clocked at only 873 MHz.
The gaming performance is similar to the Radeon r5 M330 and therefore in the entry level segment. Only non demanding games like Overwatch or Farming Simulator 2017 can be played fluently in low settings. See the list of all tested games below for more benchmarks.
The Radeon R5 M430 is still based on the old GCN 1.0 architecture (not verified) and supports DirectX 12 (11_1 according to GPU-Z).
