HD 4400 vs GeForce GTX 960M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 960M GPU is faster than the HD 4400 in gaming.

In our comparison, 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 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 960M has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 1.66 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the HD 4400 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960M at 65 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 960M is faster than the HD 4400.
