GeForce GTX 860M vs GeForce MX350 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce MX350 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 860M in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 860M 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. 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 MX350 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 860M at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce MX350 is faster than the GeForce GTX 860M.
