NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M

The GeForce GTX 870M is an NVIDIA GPU that was released in 2014 March. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 974 points in our PC benchmark.

It has a total memory bandwidth of 117 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 192 bits.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce GTX 870M GPU core runs at a frequency of 941 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 967 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce GTX 870M supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M has a TDP of 100W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
