Radeon R7 M260X vs GeForce 940M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 940M beats the Radeon R7 M260X in gaming performance.

The GeForce 940M has a significantly 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 940M 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce 940M is better than the Radeon R7 M260X.
