GeForce GTX 960M vs Arc A350M comparison

For gaming, the Arc A350M graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 960M in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 960M has a significantly 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 960M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Arc A350M has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960M at 65 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Arc A350M is better than the GeForce GTX 960M.
