Intel HD Graphics 520 ► remove from comparison Therefore, the GPU is best suited for laptops from 13-inch and up. The TDP of the card should be rated at about 15 to 30 Watt (depending on the version, clock speeds and memory). Therefore, demanding games from 2015 should run fluently in low to medium settings and WXGA resolution. The GDDR5 version however pushes ahead 20% (even 30% if paired with a fast desktop quad-core, but we lack 940M reference scores). According to our benchmarks (see below), the DDR3 version is very similar to the old 940M (due to only minor increased clock rates).

The performance greatly depends on the used graphics memory and chip. The Dell Inspiversion however had the GM108 chip with 384 shaders clocked at 1083 - 1189 MHz. featured 512 shader cores (GM107) clocked at 795 - 861 MHz. The 940MX in the Acer Aspire E5-774G e.g. However, most notebook vendors will use the slower DDR3 version of the 940MX that clocks only a few percent faster than the old GeForce 940M (1122 versus 1072 MHz base clock e.g.).įor the GDDR5 version of the 940MX there appears to be also a variant with the GM107-B chip with 512 shaders instead of the 384 but lower clock speeds. Therefore, it is similar to the Maxwell GPU in the Microsoft Surface Book but with more memory and higher clock speeds. Compared to the older card, the new one is based on the same chip but now supports faster GDDR5. It has been announced in the first quarter of 2016 and is the refresh of the GeForce 940M. The Nvidia GeForce 940MX is a mid-range laptop graphics card with DirectX 12 support (FL 11_0). NVIDIA GeForce 940MX ► remove from comparison
