Go for the 950m. It's much better, believe me.

I have a laptop option with gtx 950m DDR5 2gb and another option with a gtx 940mx DDR5 2gb My question, which one would be best for gaming / development?
Jay Cho (04:14 AM, September 20, 2016)
950m is mobile version of gtx950, however, its performance is equivalent to 750 desktop GPU. (or maybe a little bit better) which means it wont play any recent games with ultra or high 1080p, you need to compromise with graphics settings in order to make it playable. it will PLAY the games, but not in the best settings. Check out 960m which perfoms around gtx950 desktop GPU for better gaming

Thanks for the reply flader, in which game I can paly max settings (2014-now) ultra or high 1080p
Flader (07:52 PM, August 4, 2016)

Thanks for the reply Bob, Can Gt 940mx play all the games

950M GDDR5 will be a lot better for playing games. The DDR3 version of the 940mx is significantly slower
Gajaruban Saravanabavan (01:32 AM, August 1, 2016)
