GeForce GTX 960M vs GeForce MX150 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce MX150 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 960M in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX150 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 MX150 also 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 MX150 has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960M at 65 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce MX150 is better than the GeForce GTX 960M.
