I was wondering whether the new Ryzen APU is better than the old Nvidia 940mx. I know the APU is much newer, and that it as good price, and space effective solution, but is it not as strong as a dedicated graphics card. My laptop has the 940mx and it has a Thunderbolt 3 port and I want to save money and just buy a sperate graphics card housing. Then again when are those reasonably priced! I prefer not to build a pc at the moment and want something to run more graphics extensive games. And the APU at the moment seems like the best option for me if I have build one. Thanks.

The Ryzen APUs are a fair bit faster than the 940mx.

This. Although battery life is generally better on 940MX machines by a bit, due to Ryzen's current power consumption.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?
