The feature set of the 920M corresponds to the GT 730M and 825M. For comparison, a GeForce 930M is about 20 to 30 percent faster than the 920M. The GeForce 920M offers a performance similar to the AMD Radeon R7 M260 or R7 M360 and will handle modern games (as of 2014/2015) in low settings only.

PCIe 3.0 is now supported by the mobile Kepler series and GPU Boost 2.0 mode can automatically overclock the card if the laptop cooling system allows it. This feature is available on any notebook with a graphics card from the 800M series. Furthermore, the GK208 chip has 16 TMUs and 8 ROPs on a 64-bit memory interface. GK208 is based on the Kepler architecture and offers two shader blocks, called SMX, each with 192 shaders for a total of 384 shader cores. The shaders are clocked at the same speed as the rest of the chip. The 384 shaders are clocked at 954 MHz, while the memory (64-bit DDR3 interface) runs at 900 MHz (1800 MHz effective). It is based on the 28 nm Kepler architecture and uses the same GK208 chip as the GeForce GT 730M, 825M and 740M. The NVIDIA GeForce 920M (sometimes also NVIDIA GeForce GT 920M) is an entry level DirectX 12 graphics card. NVIDIA GeForce 920M ► remove from comparison The 900M series also supports Optimus to automatically switch between an integrated graphics card and the Nvidia GPU. Therefore, the GPU is best suited for laptops 13 - 14 inches in size and above. The power consumption of the GeForce 940M should be about 30 Watts or lower. 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. However, very demanding games such as Assassin's Creed Unity will require lower resolutions and/or details. Similar to Fermi and Kepler, the GM107/GM108 support DirectX 12 with feature level 11_0 only.ĭue to its just 5 percent higher core clock, the GeForce 940M is only marginally faster than the previous GeForce 840M and similar to the older GeForce GT 750M (DDR3 version). Many games of 2014/2015 can be played fluently in WXGA resolution (1366 x 768) and medium detail settings. 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. GM108 features 3 SMMs and thus 384 shader cores, 24 TMUs and 8 ROPs (64-bit interface).Īnother optimization is the massively enlarged L2 cache. The 940M offers 384 shader units as well as 2 GB of DDR3 memory (64 bit, 2000 MHz effective).Ĭompared to the previous and technically very similar GeForce 840M, the GeForce 940M is clocked just slightly higher.Ĭompared to Kepler, Maxwell has been optimized in several details to increase power efficiency. The NVIDIA GeForce 940M is a mid-range DirectX 11-compatible graphics card for laptops unveiled in March 2015. It is based on Nvidia's Maxwell architecture (GM108 chip) and manufactured in 28 nm. So all in all, none of this was warranted by you and worse given the outdated nature of the information of the thread, it borders on disinformation(which is a no no) to be attempting to dredge up and propogate.NVIDIA GeForce 940M ► remove from comparison Some of the launch parameters you've suggested are also outdated and in such combination do not necessarily bode well. Basically they're inferior lappy guts and without a dedicated graphics card.ģ. His CPU AMD A6-3400M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics also does not meet the min requirements to play ark and APU's of this ilk or others have been cited -numerous- times as being prone to issues with Ark. Their rig has for example only 6GB of ram at that time and Ark requires 8GB. No, the OP in the thread's rig does -not- meet the min requirements to play Ark.
