In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 M375 2GB are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has a 122 MHz higher core clock speed than the R9 M375, but the R9 M375 has 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. As a result, the R9 M375 exhibits a 13.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has a 122 MHz higher core clock speed than the R9 M375, but the R9 M375 has 8 more Render Output Units than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. As a result, the R9 M375 exhibits a 7 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB was released less than a year after the R9 M375, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB and the Radeon R9 M375 2GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The R9 M375 has 19.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 940MX 2GB, which means that the memory performance of the R9 M375 is slightly better than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has 384 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 M375 2GB has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce 940MX 2GB is 644 and the actual shader performance of the R9 M375 is 552. The GeForce 940MX 2GB having 92 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the R9 M375 performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB requires 25 Watts to run and the Radeon R9 M375 2GB requires 75 Watts. The R9 M375 requires 50 Watts more than the GeForce 940MX 2GB to run. The difference is significant enough that the R9 M375 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
