GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce GTX 770M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 770M graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 950M in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 950M has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 950M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 950M and the GeForce GTX 770M have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 770M over the GeForce GTX 950M.
