NVIDIA GeForce 940A: specs and benchmarks

Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce 940A sales 13 March 2015. This is Maxwell architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 1 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 2 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 16.02 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 33 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 4.37 percent of a leader's which is AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.
General info
Of GeForce 940A's architecture, market type and release date.
Technical specs
GeForce 940A's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of GeForce 940A's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.
Compatibility, dimensions and requirements
Information on GeForce 940A's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on GeForce 940A: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM.
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on GeForce 940A. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference video cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model.
API support
APIs supported by GeForce 940A, sometimes including their particular versions.
Benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark performance of GeForce 940A. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.
Overall score
This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
Game benchmarks
Let's see how good GeForce 940A is for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS. Comparisons with system requirements are included, but remember that sometimes official requirements may reflect real performance inaccurately.
Relative perfomance
Overall GeForce 940A performance compared to nearest competitors among desktop video cards.
AMD equivalent
We believe that the nearest equivalent to GeForce 940A from AMD is Radeon HD 4850 X2, which is slower by 1% and lower by 1 position in our rating.
