The GTX 860M offers 640 shader units clocked at 1029 MHz (+ Boost) as well as 4 GB of GDDR5 memory (128 bit, 5000 MHz effective).Īlternatively, there is also a version based on the Kepler chip GK104, which has 1152 shader units clocked at 797 MHz.Ĭompared to Kepler, Maxwell has been optimized in several details to increase power efficiency. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M is an upper mid-range, DirectX 12-compatible graphics card for laptops unveiled in March 2014. It is one of the first cards based on Nvidia's new Maxwell architecture (GM107 chip), but is still manufactured in 28 nm. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M ► remove from comparison Thanks to the 7 nm process and clever power-saving features, the power consumption is comparatively low (according to AMD), so the iGPU won't look out of place in a slimmer, lighter laptop.

Less demanding games like Fifa 20 or Dirt Rally 2.0 should run in higher settings and 1920 x 1080. That means, only some demanding games of 2019 will run in lowest detail settings. The performance should be slightly lower than the older RX Vega 8 GPU (1 CU more, but lower clock speed). More information is available in our dedicated article about the Raven Ridge architecture. The Vega architecture offers some improvements over the Polaris generation and now supports DirectX 12 Feature Level 12_1. The GPU should benefit from fast dual-channel DDR4-3200 RAM (contrary to DDR4-2133 single-channel, which is also possible). The iGPU's performance depends on the TDP of an APU (15, 35, 45 W or cTDP), the clocks, the cooling, and the memory configuration).

The GPU is based on the Vega architecture (5th generation GCN) and has 7 CUs (= 448 shaders) clocked at up to 1,800 MHz. It is used in the Ryzen 4000 and Ryzen 5000 mobile APUs. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 is an integrated GPU for notebooks. AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 ► remove from comparison
