GeForce GTX 950 vs GeForce GTX 880M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 880M GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 950 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 950 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 950 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 950 has a slightly lower TDP at 90 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 880M at 122 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 880M over the GeForce GTX 950.
