860 vs R9 280

[don_svetlio]

 So a friend of mine has a lenovo y50-70 with a 860m and from what I've seen of it (besides the drivers totally glitching in Witcher 3 when they weren't updated) was interesting to say the least.
After we updated drivers, the 860m was getting probably a good 40 fps in Witcher 3 @ 1080p.

I myself get an almost solid 60fps

My question is, is the difference really 30%-40% or is that exclusively in one game? How do they compare to each other and to the closest newer combatant the 960m?

750ti vs 280 pretty much.

The 860m is about 10% slower than the 960m

 

A desktop 280 is a LOT more powerful, a 970m would be on par

So I guess that means the 970m is pretty much around 960 levels of performance? Give or Take?

 

750ti vs 280 pretty much. 

I think the 750ti was actually getting 45fps in a benchmark I saw. But yeah, that's what it looks like.

Pretty much. The 970M has some extra shaders etc. but runs at lower clocks (since it's a mobile card), so it roughly evens out with the desktop 960.

 

The 965M has the same specs as the desktop 960, but again at lower clocks, so it's that bit slower.

the 280 is definitely much faster the 980m is about as powerful as a 280

if not a little better, the 980m is almost as fas as a desktop GTX 970

980m is like a 290.

I think the 970m is actually only slightly behind the 280 (by about 3-5fps in benchmarks) - the same as the 960.

Anyhow, thanks for clearing it up everyone.

I stand corrected
