GeForce GTX 960M vs GeForce MX350 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce MX350 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. 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 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 GeForce MX350 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce MX350 over the GeForce GTX 960M.
