NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: specs and benchmarks

General info Technical specs Memory Technologies Benchmarks Mining Gaming AMD equivalent Conclusion Advices and comments

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 940MX sales 28 June 2016. This is Maxwell architecture notebook card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 4 GB of DDR3, GDDR5 memory clocked at 5.01 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 40.1 GB / s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 3.0 x8 interface. Power consumption is at 23 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 3.50 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SLI Mobile.

Conclusion

GeForce 940MX is an entry notebook discrete video card, suitable for non-demanding games and even for some demanding ones, although with lower settings. You can play The Witcher 3 or PUBG at lowest settings and 720p resolution, while older Dota 2 or Diablo III run at high settings in Full HD.

There are two variants, one with DDR3 memory and one with GDDR5, the later is faster by 10-30%.
