nvidia Is the gtx 460m better than a geforce gt 920m?

[Shammikit]

I'm pretty sure both of those came out before lists had been invented.  Or even the Internet.

No, except that they wouldn't be able to run any modern games.

I seriously doubt it.  MAYBE if everything is set to the lowest settings.

I'm currently running a 920M and I'll give you my average FPS in games so you'll get a rough idea of how it performs:
Far Cry 4 (All settings low/off, 720p): 35 FPS
Forza Motorsport 6: (All settings low/off except MSAA 2x, 720p): Always above 40 FPS

Metro: 2033 Redux (Medium-high settings, 720p): Always above 45 FPS
Watch_Dogs (All settings low/off except HBAO+ Low, SMAA, 720p): Always above 30 FPS

That's better than I expected, especially with Far Cry 4.  What CPU do you have?

An Intel Core i5-5200U @2.2 GHz, Turbo Boost up to 2.7 GHz

is the gt 920m better than the gtx 460m.im unable to get fps values of the gtx 460m because there arent any tests of it on youtube or elsewhere.

The 920M will out perform the GTX 460M, easily. Also, the 920M is much, much newer and has a later architecture (Kepler). Based on NotebookCheck.net's 920M overview, the GTX 460M is about 5% slower based on the comparison graph between similar-performing GPUs.

The 460M is essentially a 9800GTX with DX11 capability, if you were to put it in layman's terms. It's an entry-level gaming chip from the end of 2010. Also, while it was *decent* for its time, it was rapidly outclassed even back then by emerging GPUs and barely managed to hold itself upright after a year or so.

 

It's equal to a GTS 450... if you overclock it.  I have owned the 460M and 560M and I'd probably wager that the 920M is equal to it in DX11 applications, but worse outside of that API. In any case, the 920M would be better of the two. One draws 15w tops the other draws 75w.

I would use a PS4 or Xbox One then either of those. Unless you are traveling all the time and need a "gaming" laptop.
