GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce GTX 670 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 670 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 950M in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 950M 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 950M 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 950M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 670 at 170 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 670 is faster than the GeForce GTX 950M.
