Gaming Performance Comparison

Recommended System Requirements
Game GeForce GTX 860M 2GB GeForce GT 750M 2GB GDDR5

In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M 2GB are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M 2GB GDDR5.

The GTX 860M has a 88 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the GT 750M. This results in the GTX 860M providing 11.1 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GTX 860M has a 88 MHz higher core clock speed than the GT 750M and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 860M providing 1.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The GTX 860M was released over a year more recently than the GT 750M, and so the GTX 860M is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GT 750M.

The GeForce GTX 860M 2GB and the GeForce GT 750M 2GB GDDR5 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The GTX 860M has 16.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GT 750M, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 860M is slightly better than the GT 750M.

The GeForce GTX 860M 2GB has 640 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 750M 2GB GDDR5 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 860M is 948 and the actual shader performance of the GT 750M is 406. The GTX 860M having 542 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 860M delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GT 750M.

The GeForce GTX 860M 2GB requires 60 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 750M 2GB GDDR5 requires 50 Watts. The GTX 860M requires 10 Watts more than the GT 750M to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GTX 860M to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GT 750M.

GPU Mini Review

Mini ReviewOverview
GeForce GTX 860M 2GB is a Performance Mobile Graphics Card based on the First Generation of the Maxwell Architecture.

Architecture
GeForce GTX 860M 2GB Features a GPU Codenamed GM107-N15P-GX-A1 which is a First Gen Maxwell GPU and is Identical to the GM107-400-A2 GPU used on the Desktop GeForce GTX 750 Ti.
It has 6 Stream Multiprocessors activated and offers 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs.

GPU
The central unit runs at 1029MHz and goes up to 1097MHz, in Turbo Mode.

Memory: Speed
The GPU is equipped with fast GDDR5 and Accesses the Frame Buffer through a 128-bit Memory Interface. The Memory Clock Operates at 1253MHz.

Memory: Frame Buffer
The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 2GB.

Power Consumption
GeForce GTX 860M 2GB Consumes between 60W and 75W depending on the Scenario.

Performance
Benchmarks Indicate Similar Performance to the older GeForce GTX 770M, using the best suited Resolution - 1600x900.
As a Result, GeForce GTX 860M provides a decent experience at 900p, in most Modern Demanding Games.

System Suggestions
GeForce GTX 860M 2GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1600x900. We recommend a Performance Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance.
Overview
GeForce GT 750M v4 is a Fast-Middle-Class Mobile Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Kepler Architecture.

Architecture
The Kepler Architecture was NVIDIA's big step to power efficiency. Each Stream Multiprocessor (SMX) now hosts 192 Shader Processing Units - against the 48 of older Fermi Architecture, and has been redesigned being now clocked at the same speed of the Central Unit. This means they are more energy efficient and will consequently lead to cooler operating temperatures. However, it also means they are weaker. It can be said that one Fermi SMX is as fast as 2 Kepler SMXs.
Additionally, and not available in all GPUs, Kepler also introduced the Boost Clock Feature. The Boost Clock is an even higher Clock Speed activated when in gaming mode and becomes the effective speed of the GPU.

GPU
It equips a GPU Codenamed GK107-N14P-GT which has 2 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs. The Central Unit is initially clocked at 941MHz and goes up to 1058MHz, in Turbo Mode.

Memory
The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is exaggerated and no way benefits the GPU. The Memory Clock Operates at 1000MHz.

Features
DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for SLI, Kepler Boost, Optimus, CUDA, OpenCL, DirectCompute, 3D Vision Surround, PhysX, Realtime Raytracing and other technologies

Power Consumption
With a rated board TDP of 50W, it is suited for average sized laptops.

Performance
GeForce GT 750M v2 is essentially a fast GeForce GTX 660M.
Gaming benchmarks indicate its performance is only slightly below the desktop GeForce GTX 650.

System Suggestions
We recommend a decent processor (Intel Core i5 Mobile) and 8GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GT 750M v4.
