#Nvidia geforce 930m vs 840m series#
The 900M series also supports Optimus to automatically switch between an integrated graphics card and the Nvidia GPU. Therefore, the 930M is best suited for laptops 13 inches in size or larger. The power consumption of the GeForce 930M should be about 33 Watts or less. Of course, VP6 supports all features of previous generations (4K support, PIP, video encoding via NVENC API). Unfortunately, HDMI 2.0 is still not supported. GM108 integrates the sixth generation of the PureVideo HD video engine (VP6), offering a better decoding performance for H.264 and MPEG-2 videos. See gaming benchmarks below for more details. Less demanding games like F1 2014 or Fifa 15 on the other hand should run in highest settings. This means that demanding games like Evolve are only playable in lowest settings. The performance should be a bit below an average GeForce 840M due to the slower core clock. Similar to GM107, the GM108 supports DirectX 12 with Feature Level 11_0 only. The larger size can process some of the memory traffic to allow for a relatively narrow memory interface without significantly reducing performance.

Smaller Streaming Multiprocessors (SMM) with only 128 ALUs (Kepler: 192) and an optimized scheduler should lead to better utilization of the shaders. Nvidia promises that a Maxwell SMM with 128 ALUs can offer 90 percent of the performance of a Kepler SMX with 192 ALUs. The 930M should feature the full GM108 with 3 SMMs (384 shader cores, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs due to the 64-bit interface).Īnother optimization is the massively enlarged L2 cache. Later in 2016, the successor named GeForce 930MX was released that was available with GDDR5.Ĭompared to Kepler, Maxwell has been optimized in several details to increase power efficiency. Update: The N16S-LP variant (5-12 Watt TDP, Low Power version?) will be available with GDDR5 starting in the first quarter of 2016. As the LP version is clocked only at 457 MHz + Boost it may feature more shaders (or a high Boost). The shader count for these low power 930M are also unknown. The performance of the GDDR5 version is still unknown. The DDR3 variant should be approximately 10% slower than the 25 Watt version.
In addition to the "normal" 25 Watt 930M, there is also a low power variant with a TDP of 12 Watt and support for DDR3 and GDDR5. It is based on the last years GeForce 840M. The NVIDIA GeForce 930M (sometimes also called Nvidia GeForce GT 930M) is a (lower) mid-range, DirectX 11-compatible graphics card for laptops unveiled in March 2015.

No reliable data interpolation can be made based on the performance of similar cards of the same category. Uncertain – The performance of this video card with this game is not well explored yet. A slower card might be able to produce higher and more consistent frame rates when running the same benchmark scene.
Uncertain – The testing of this video card on this game showed unexpected results. According to interpolated information obtained from video cards of similar efficiency levels, the game is likely to show fluent frame rates.
