Which gets more FPS?

[Tiber1337]

Can anyone calculate this for me please ? What gets more FPS

 

GTX 950M v2 (ddr3) on 720p 

 

OR

 

GTX 960M on 1080p .

 

Does anyone have the aproximate but actual numbers.

[LokiFire]

960 on all.

[PlayStation 2]

960 ez

950M is like the equivalent to a ddr3 730

960 or 960M? Weird to compare desktop and laptop GPUs? Either way, 960 all the way.

That's not really sure. 720p is much lower resolution than a 1080p and that's only one GPU tier of difference

I mean if he's talking about a mobile 960 which is roughly a 750Ti

[Jeffdonatic]

Calculating with controlled test hardware might be difficult as the M is a mobile gpu.

 

But as the 960 is overclockable (to a higher degree than the 950m atleast) id go for that.

[Tiber1337]

Yea I meant to say 960m, I edited.

960m sorry.

[Atmos]

if your talking about 960m,then its much closer to equal between the two.

if youre talking the desktop 960 then its no competition, it wins in all regards.

[LokiFire]

Still go 960m, a GT 730 is a dog poo GPU.

950m would probably get more frames, but you could just turn the resolution down to 720p with the 960 and get even faster framerates.

If the display doesen't run at native resolution, doesn't it look horrible?

Not necessarily true.

A 950M and 960M are the exact same cores but the 960M is clocked 200-250MHz higher and also features GDDR5 increasing performance by around 35% total. The question is different. Do you want 1080p or 720p? Performance will likely be similar or slightly better on the 950M but the image quality on the 960M will be vastly superior and sharper. I had a similar choice between a 850M and 860M - I went for the 860M and I do not regret my decision.

950M is actually the 750 Ti but with DDR3

[don_svetlio]

Still go 960m, a GT 730 is a dog poo GPU.

Both are the same 750 Ti core >.<

mm really?

damn nvidia really stepped their mobile gpu game up

Depends upon the size of the display. On a laptop, don't worry about it. I have a 1080p 27 inch display that I ran off of my laptop (it ran games at 720p) and it looked OK. On a laptop 720p is fine for games. Also, the X60M GPU is WAY faster than the X50M GPU on Nvidia's lineup, because the X60M and above have GDDR5 while most X50M chips have GDDR3.

 

GDDR3 sucks, it slows down gaming significantly, and I would never recomend it if you can get away with it.

You sir, have no idea what you're talking about

720p is notably blurrier on ANY screen. The difference is easily noticeable even by people such as me who don't give a rat's ass about it.

The 850/950/860/960 M cards are ALL the same 750 Ti with 640 CUDA cores, 16 RoPs and etc. The difference is clockspeed and VRAM type. While GDDR3 results in slower GPU performance it does NOT slow down gaming IN THE SLIGHTEST. It just results in 20% or so lower framerates but there is NO stutter or lag.

In reference to my 27" monitor at 720p(I said it looked OK. Not great. Not fantastic. It was acceptable for playing games, although it obviously wasn't the best.)

 

I'm using a 15.6" laptop with a 768p screen right now, and I'm perfectly fine with the resolution. I would like a 1080p screen for sharper text, but for games it's not a problem.

 

Yes, I can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p at the same screen size. I said nothing contrary to that fact. HOWEVER, on a 15" screen, one can play games at 720p and have an enjoyable gaming experience (or I can, at least).

 

In my laptop, I have a GPU with GDDR3 memory. It straight up doesn't work at 1080p. There's tons of stuttering and it just sucks. My friend had a GPU with a similar Kepler core paired with GDDR5 memory and it was WAY BETTER in games. Also, in my honest opinion, a 20% performance difference is a lot.

 

There's no need to tell me that I have no idea what I'm talking about, and attack me for something that I straight up didn't say. I'm just trying to help the OP in making a wise purchase. I apologize if I was ambiguous in what I said in my first post in this thread.

Ah, this is what I meant. You have a Kepler card whereas these are Maxwell Gen 1. Vast difference in the way things are handled.

[Tiber1337]

Ok so the big price difference isn't really worth it then. I don't mind 720p. If I could I would've looked at a gtx 960m on 720p but I haven't seen any.

820m best mobile Gpu evaaaar!
