GeForce GTX 650 vs GeForce 940MX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 940MX beats the GeForce GTX 650 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 650 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 940MX has a significantly lower TDP at 23 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 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 940MX over the GeForce GTX 650.
