It is used in the Ryzen 4000 mobile APUs, which were launched early 2020. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 is an integrated GPU for notebooks.

The 900M series also supports Optimus to automatically switch between an integrated graphics card and the Nvidia GPU.ĪMD Radeon RX Vega 7 ► remove from comparison

Therefore, the GPU is best suited for 15-inch laptops or larger. The power consumption of the GeForce GTX 950M should be similar to (or slightly above) the previous GTX 850M at about 50 watts. 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. GM107 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.

Many games of 2014/2015 can be played fluently in FullHD resolution and high detail settings. Overall, the 950M (GDDR5 version) is about 15 percent slower than the GTX 960M and just slightly behind the old GTX 860M. GM107 supports DirectX 12 with feature level 11_0 only.Īlthough the GTX 950M has the same memory bandwidth as the previous GTX 850M, its higher core clock leads to a slightly better performance. The increased size can handle some of the memory traffic to allow for a relatively narrow memory interface without significantly reducing the 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. GM107 features 5 SMMs and thus 640 shader cores, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs (128-bit interface).Īnother optimization is the massively enlarged L2 cache (GM107: 2 MB). Some GTX 950M may be equipped with cheaper 900 - 1000 MHz DDR3 memory (1800 - 2000 MHz effective, 28.8 - 32 GB/s), which leads to a 10 - 20 percent lower performance despite the slightly higher core clock of 993 MHz.Ĭompared to Kepler, Maxwell has been optimized in several details to increase power efficiency. A detailed performance comparison of the GTX 950M with GDDR5 and DDR3 can be found here. Compared to the previous and technically very similar GTX 850M, the GTX 950M is clocked slightly higher. The GTX 950M offers 640 shader units clocked at 914 MHz (+ Boost) as well as fast GDDR5 memory (128 bit, 5000 MHz effective, 80 GB/s). The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M is an (upper) mid-range, DirectX 11-compatible graphics card for laptops unveiled in March 2015. It is based on Nvidia's Maxwell architecture (GM107 chip) and manufactured in 28 nm. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M ► remove from comparison Thanks to the 14nm process and clever power-saving features, the power consumption is comparatively low (according to AMD), so the graphics card can also be used for slim and light notebooks. Therefore, demanding current games may not be playable fluently. More information is available in our dedicated article about the Raven Ridge architecture.Ĭurrently we estimate a performance around a GeForce 910M. 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 DDR4-2400 RAM (contrary to DDR4-2133 single-channel, which is also possible). The performance depends on the configured TDP (12-25 W at launch), the clocks, the cooling, and the memory configuration). The GPU is based on the Vega architecture (5th generation GCN) and has 3 CUs (= 192 of the 704 shaders) clocked at up to 1100 MHz. It is used for the entry level Ryzen 3 APUs, which were launched in early 2018. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 3 is an integrated GPU for laptops. AMD Radeon RX Vega 3 ► remove from comparison
