GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q vs GeForce 930M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q GPU is faster than the GeForce 930M in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q has a significantly 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 1060 Max-Q also has a significantly 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 930M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q at 80 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 1060 Max-Q is better than the GeForce 930M.
