GeForce 930M vs GeForce 940M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 940M beats the GeForce 930M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce 940M has a slightly 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. In addition, the GeForce 940M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce 930M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the GeForce 940M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce 940M is faster than the GeForce 930M.
