Gtx860m

cylpol1 · February 20, 2015

I was wondering whether to get a laptop with a gtx860m I read into some of the reviews that the card teds to throttle and heat up. I'm not sure if this is consistent for all laptops or just some, so if anyone could give input that would be great.Also, is it capable of handling games that are out right now and in the future for medium to high graphics on most games. Should i just skip this and go for the gtx965m? thanks for any responses .

There are two GTX 860M cards. One is integrated-only and is Maxwell architecture. This card is so cool I probably couldn't even force it to overheat if I wanted to.

The next is MXM-only and is Kepler. This is a very cut-down GTX 760, with core and memory downclocks and a 128-bit memory bus instead of a 256-bit memory bus. Find out which one the notebook you're looking for has.
