NVIDIA GeForce 940M

The GeForce 940M is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2015. This chip has a bad gaming score with 325 points in our GPU benchmark.

It has a total memory bandwidth of 14 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 64 bits.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce 940M GPU core runs at a frequency of 1020 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1098 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce 940M supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA GeForce 940M are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 75 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
