NVIDIA GeForce MX350 vs NVIDIA TITAN V CEO Edition Comparison

The Verdict

The data places these two NVIDIA parts at opposite ends of the GPU spectrum. The GeForce MX350 is a low-power, end-of-life mobile chip built for thin-and-light laptops. The TITAN V CEO Edition is a dual-slot, 250 W desktop monster from the Volta generation, designed for compute-heavy workloads. Benchmark results show the MX350 posting an average score of 10883, while the TITAN V CEO Edition averages 9037. That average is skewed by the TITAN V's weak PassMark G2D score of 1086, which drags its composite down. In pure 3D performance, the TITAN V CEO Edition scores 16988 in PassMark G3D, whereas the MX350 has no comparable G3D entry in the database.

The verdict is straightforward: if you need a GPU for a portable, fanless or near-silent system with minimal power draw, the MX350 is the only realistic choice. If you need massive memory bandwidth, huge frame buffer, or tensor core acceleration, the TITAN V CEO Edition is the one. The MX350 slots in at the 49th percentile among all GPUs, meaning it sits near the middle of the pack. The TITAN V CEO Edition sits at the 45th percentile, which is surprising given its raw specs, but the composite average includes its weak 2D score. For gaming, the MX350 is a capable entry-level solution; for compute and high-resolution workloads, the TITAN V CEO Edition dominates.

Architecture Differences

The MX350 uses the GP107S chip built on Samsung's 14 nm process. It contains 3,300 million transistors on a 132 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 25.0 million per mm². The architecture is Pascal, and it belongs to the GeForce MX (3xx) generation. It has 640 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output pipelines. There are no RT cores and no tensor cores. The card supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The TITAN V CEO Edition uses the GV100 chip built on TSMC's 12 nm process. It packs 21,100 million transistors on an 815 mm² die, with a transistor density of 25.9 million per mm². The architecture is Volta, and it is listed under the GeForce 10 generation. It has 5,120 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 128 raster output pipelines. It has no RT cores but does include 640 tensor cores. API support matches the MX350: DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The process node difference is small (14 nm versus 12 nm), but the transistor count and die size differences are enormous. The GV100 die is more than six times larger than the GP107S die. The TITAN V also features HBM2 memory, while the MX350 uses GDDR5. The TITAN V's memory bus is 4096 bits wide, compared to the MX350's 64-bit bus. The TITAN V has 640 tensor cores, which the MX350 completely lacks. These architectural differences explain the massive gap in compute throughput, texture rate, and pixel rate.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two GPUs, so the comparison relies on their individual recorded scores and nearest rival deltas.

The MX350 achieves a Geekbench OpenCL score of 8689 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 13077. Its average benchmark score is 10883. In the nearest rival comparison, the MX350 is 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 450 (which averages 10804), 1.1% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K2200 (10761), 1.5% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER (11047), and 1.7% behind the AMD Radeon RX 550 (11075). These small deltas place the MX350 in a tight competitive band around the 10.8k to 11.1k score range.

The TITAN V CEO Edition records a PassMark G2D score of 1086 and a PassMark G3D score of 16988. Its average benchmark score is 9037. Its nearest rivals tell a different story: it is 0.2% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (9022), 0.2% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 (9058), 1.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon 550X (8918), and 1.9% behind the AMD Radeon 890M (9210). The TITAN V's G3D score of 16988 is roughly 56% higher than its own average, which shows how much the 2D score drags the composite down.

The biggest wins for the MX350 are in the Geekbench tests, where it scores in the five-figure range. The biggest win for the TITAN V is the PassMark G3D score, which is over 15 times higher than its G2D score. The MX350 has no PassMark entries in the database, and the TITAN V has no Geekbench entries, so cross-test comparisons are not possible. What the data does show is that the TITAN V's 3D performance is in a completely different class from its 2D performance, while the MX350's two recorded scores are relatively close to each other.

Where Each One Wins

The MX350 wins in scenarios where power draw and physical footprint matter. Its 20 W TDP means it can run without any power connectors, making it suitable for portable devices where the display outputs are device-dependent. Its higher base and boost clocks (1354 MHz and 1468 MHz) contribute to solid Geekbench results, with an OpenCL score of 8689 and a Vulkan score of 13077. It outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 450 by 0.7% and the NVIDIA Quadro K2200 by 1.1% in average score, placing it in a competitive position among entry-level GPUs. For a laptop user who needs basic acceleration for everyday tasks, light gaming, or media playback, the MX350 is the appropriate pick.

The TITAN V CEO Edition wins in compute-heavy and high-resolution workloads. Its 32 GB of HBM2 memory, 4096-bit bus, and 868.4 GB/s bandwidth make it ideal for large datasets and multi-monitor setups. Its 640 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for AI and deep learning tasks, something the MX350 cannot offer. The FP32 throughput of 14.90 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput of 29.80 TFLOPS are in a different league from the MX350's 1.879 TFLOPS and 29.36 GFLOPS. The PassMark G3D score of 16988 confirms its 3D capability, even though its composite average is dragged down by a G2D score of 1086. For a desktop workstation with a 600 W PSU, a dual-slot chassis, and a need for maximum compute throughput, the TITAN V CEO Edition is the clear choice.

The data does not support using the TITAN V for low-power or portable scenarios, nor does it support using the MX350 for tensor core workloads or high-bandwidth memory tasks. The MX350's nearest rivals are all within a 1.7% band, meaning it is a middle-of-the-road entry-level part. The TITAN V's nearest rivals include older cards like the GTX 660 and GTX 560, which reflects its unusual average score profile. When the G3D score is isolated, the TITAN V shows its true 3D strength. In summary, pick the MX350 for efficiency and portability, pick the TITAN V CEO Edition for raw compute and memory capacity.
