GeForce GTX 970M vs T600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 970M beats the T600 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 970M 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. Despite this, the T600 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 T600 has a significantly lower TDP at 40 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 970M at 75 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 GeForce GTX 970M is better than the T600.
