NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

The GeForce GTX 860M is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2015. This chip has a bad gaming score at 6% in our GPU benchmark.

It has a total memory bandwidth of 78 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce GTX 860M GPU core runs at a frequency of 1020 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1085 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce GTX 860M supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M has a TDP of 75W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
