GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs GeForce 940MX benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce 940MX in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q 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 940MX has a significantly lower TDP at 23 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q 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.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q over the GeForce 940MX.
