GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs GeForce GTX 965M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 965M GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q 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 GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 965M has a slightly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 965M is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.
