Err whut... The GTX 950m has a significantly slower performance as compared to the GTX 950

Oooooo... Since I have a GTX 460( Technically), how did I managed to scrape 30 fps on a heavily unoptimised game( Batman Arkham Knight) lol Last edited by rotNdude; 28 Oct, 2017 @ 1:47pm #3 Monk View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 8:49am Yeah just ignore Edmund for the most part, in regards to equivalent performance I'd say a 660 perhaps on a good day, probably closer to a 560, the problem is the mobile versions are wayyy less Powerful prior to the 10 series when they finally got full fat gpu's in mobile.Add to that, the problem that the 950 s not really a gaming GPU so the mobile version is already based on a weak GPU as it is, means you need to go back several generations to get equivalent performance. #4 Cathulhu View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 8:52am http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-950M-vs-Nvidia-GTX-560/m27713vs3155560 is a good fit, i give you that.http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-950M-vs-Nvidia-GTX-660/m27713vs2162On par with a 660? Not even remotely. #5 JL37 View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 8:55am

Ohhh I see....

Oh... Do you think I can run any modern games such as the evil within 2, hellblade or maybe wolfenstein? #8 Monk View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 9:20am As I suggest to anyone on borderline or low end kit buy it on steam and try it, you have 2 hours of playtime in which you can ask for a refund.Sure, you'll be able to play them, but how good the experience is what really needs to be asked, if you don't mind low and 30fps I suspect you'll be fine, just about. #9 Cathulhu View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 10:19am

Not at playable speed. #10 🎅🏻TehSpoopyXmasKitteh🎄 View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 12:25pm

Wrong...though they are not the same chip family....The 900 series is a different architecture family than the 900M series. The 950M is based on the GTX750 but provided similar performance. Last edited by 🎅🏻TehSpoopyXmasKitteh🎄; 28 Oct, 2017 @ 12:39pm #11 Bad 💀 Motha View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 1:43pm No, GTX 950M is very weak, only about on-par with performance from something like GT-730 or GTS-450 at best. It is very weak.GTX 970M is only as good as maybe GTX 950 series, so keep that in mind.Now if you were to get a Laptop with i5 or i7 MQ/HQ varient + GTX 10xx series GPU, these newer Mobile GPUs are the same performance as the Desktop variant. Where as previous gen mobile GPUs were highly cut-down versions, no where near the Desktop version by the same model name.

GTX 970M is probably around GTX 960 level, with the GTX 980M in between 960 and 970. GTX 980M is equal to GTX 780, whereas GTX 960 is only 15% faster than the 760 and nowhere near 780. GTX 970 is roughly equal to 780 Ti. #14 Bad 💀 Motha View Profile View Posts 28 Oct, 2017 @ 3:51pm But yea, GTX 950M is very weak. Hardly much better than Intel GPUs.GTX 1050 Mobile is a huge step up. #15 < > Showing 1-15 of 22 comments Per page: 1530 50 All Discussions > Steam Forums > Hardware and Operating Systems > Topic Details Date Posted: 28 Oct, 2017 @ 8:37amPosts: 22 Start a New Discussion Discussions Rules and Guidelines
