Radeon R7 240 vs GeForce 940MX comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 940MX beats the Radeon R7 240 in gaming performance.

The GeForce 940MX 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. In addition, the GeForce 940MX also has a significantly 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 940MX has a slightly lower TDP at 23 W when compared to the Radeon R7 240 at 30 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce 940MX is faster than the Radeon R7 240.
