Radeon R7 M260 vs GeForce 940MX benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce 940MX GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 M260 in gaming.

In our comparison, 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 slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce 940MX is faster than the Radeon R7 M260.
