GeForce GTX 770 vs GeForce 940MX specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 770 graphics card is better than the GeForce 940MX in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 770 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. Despite this, the GeForce 940MX 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 770 at 230 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 770 over the GeForce 940MX.
