GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce GTX 965M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 965M GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 950M in gaming.

Our database shows that 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 965M 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 GTX 965M has a slightly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 965M is better than the GeForce GTX 950M.
