GeForce GTX 965M vs GeForce 930MX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 965M beats the GeForce 930MX in gaming performance.

The GeForce 930MX 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. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce 930MX has a significantly lower TDP at 17 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 965M at 60 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 965M is faster than the GeForce 930MX.
