GT 940M what the hell! 768 of them can be 1080.

And for the current market, Nvidia is undoubtedly occupy the product end of the absolute Main, the 9 Series has been fully listed, but in addition to everyone familiar with the GTX level, the entry level of the update is also very important for entry-level players, the most representative of which is today we test the protagonist- GT 940M. What kind of product is it, what kind of performance is it, and which players can choose?

GT 940M, GTX 950m/960m all just change name upgrade

Nvidia in the Maxwell Micro-architecture product replacement strategy is more interesting, as early as the 8 series of low-end products, Maxwell Micro-architecture is one step ahead, but the high-end GTX 870m/880m because of the capacity problem also used the old Kepler micro-architecture, and when this problem is resolved, The Maxwell flagship product should naturally be named the new GTX 9 Series. But because the next generation of micro-architectures is not yet mature, and the 9 Series of products can not only high-end GTX 970m/980m. Therefore, the 9 Series in the low-end on a large number of 8 series products, "another name again" strategy, GT 940M naturally will not be spared.

From the Hardware specification comparison table, we can see that the GT 940M and GT 840M is basically the same product, although there are rumors that it also has a 640 stream processor and 128bit bit width GDDR5 memory of the powerful version, but we think it is just a gimmick, the mainstream shipping will still be a low version, The reason is very simple, the high version with the GTX 950m/960m configuration too similar, the price is certainly not low, plus it is the name of the disadvantage, no matter the manufacturer or the consumer estimates will not buy.

In fact, not only the GT 940M, even GTX 950m/960m, they and the previous generation of the GTX 850m/860m is basically no difference, so when you have to purchase the demand, completely do not have to wait for these so-called new graphics products, fresh.

Mid-low effect play with 1366x768 resolution large 3D game

GT 940M single dominant performance test table
The Witcher 3 low-effect	24.5fps
"GTA 5" high effect	33.7fps
The special effects in remote 4	29.2fps
"Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" special effects	28.9fps
The son of Rome low effect	26.8fps
"FIFA 15" high effect	60.4fps
"DOTA 2" high effect	52.3fps

The GT 940M Single-display test platform is based on Acer E5-573G, a 15.6-inch mainstream with a core i5 5200U processor and a 1366x768 resolution screen at just 3999 yuan, which is the main battleground of the GT 940M class. Then the full HD screen will have to rely on the GTX-class brothers to support the scene.

In terms of game performance, at least at 1366x768 resolution, the GT 940M can play a large 3D game including "Wizard 3", although the special effects and resolution are not high, the new generation of large 3D game basic effects are done very in place, Even with this setting, you can still get a pretty good view of the picture. And as for many players like the "FIFA 15" DOTA 2 "GTA 5" is not a high-demand game, even if it is open to high-effect can also be smooth, so gt940m in the resolution for it also has enough mainstream game performance.

Performance Summary: No surprises, but not mediocre

Li Kun: For some people, the GT 940M is undoubtedly a disappointing product, this is because of its performance upgrade email hope, but the reality tells you: it is only GT 840M "identical twin brother" only, so if you hold to buy it than to buy GT 840M a better attitude to look at this article, disappointment is fully understandable.

But in other words, is the GT 940M really weak? The answer is no, it does not match the performance of the GTX, because this is not its mission, the 1366x768 resolution is the world of its, at this resolution, the GT 940M can play its due level, for online games or popular game players, the GT 940M model performance enough and price of pro-people, if you want to play large 3D games more readily, then move to the GTX-class unique display, of course, the price is rising.

GT 940M what the hell! 768 of them can be 1080.
