NVIDIA GeForce 840M

The GeForce 840M is an NVIDIA GPU that was released in 2014 March. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 315 points in our PC benchmark.

It has a total memory bandwidth of 15 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 64 bits.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce 840M GPU core runs at a frequency of 1029 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1124 MHz. The clock runs at a speed called the clock speed. It dictates the number of updates per second that the GPU can process. Overclocking a chip, which means increasing the clock speed will improve the performance. However, thermals and power efficiency may be diminished.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce 840M supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

The NVIDIA GeForce 840M has a TDP of 33W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
