GeForce 940M vs GeForce 930A comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 940M beats the GeForce 930A 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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce 930A has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the GeForce 940M at 75 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

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