GeForce GTX 760 vs GeForce GTX 860M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 760 beats the GeForce GTX 860M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 860M 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 860M 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 GTX 860M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 760 at 170 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 760 is better than the GeForce GTX 860M.
