In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 Mobile are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has a 822 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the Pro Graphics. This results in the GeForce 940MX 2GB providing 24.5 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 GeForce 940MX 2GB has a 822 MHz higher core clock speed and 6 more Render Output Units than the Pro Graphics. This results in the GeForce 940MX 2GB providing 8.4 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 GeForce 940MX 2GB was released less than a year after the Pro Graphics, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has 1920 MB more video memory than the Pro Graphics, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, the overall memory performance is about the same.
The Pro Graphics has 13.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 940MX 2GB, which means that the memory performance of the Pro Graphics is slightly better than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has 384 Shader Processing Units and the Iris Pro Graphics 6200 Mobile has 48. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce 940MX 2GB is 644 and the actual shader performance of the Pro Graphics is 442. The GeForce 940MX 2GB having 202 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GeForce 940MX 2GB delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Pro Graphics.
The Pro Graphics transistor size technology is 14 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This means that the Pro Graphics is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the Pro Graphics should consume less power than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB requires 25 Watts to run and the Iris Pro Graphics 6200 Mobile requires 47 Watts. The Pro Graphics requires 22 Watts more than the GeForce 940MX 2GB to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Pro Graphics to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.

| Mini Review | Overview GeForce 940MX 2GB is a Middle-Class Mobile Graphics Card based on the Maxwell Architecture. Architecture GeForce 940MX 2GB Features a GPU Codenamed GM108-N16S-GTR which is a First Gen Maxwell GPU and is identical to the GM108-N16S-GT-S used on GeForce 940M but with the addition of GDDR5 Support. GM108-N16S-GTR has 3 Compute Units Unlocked and thus offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 24 TMUs and 8 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit is Clocked at 1122Hz and goes up to 1242MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with DDR3 and Accesses the Frame Buffer through a 64-bit Memory Interface. The Memory Clock Operates at 1001MHz. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 2GB. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 25W, it is suited for small and medium sized laptops. Performance Equipped with DDR3, GeForce GT 940MX is only slightly faster than GeForce GT 940M. System Suggestions GeForce 940MX 2GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1366x768. We Recommend a Middle-Class Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 Mobile are Integrated Graphics in some of Intel's HQ Haswell Processors. Architecture The Broadwell Architecture Succeeds the Haswell Architecture and offers Faster & More Efficient Integrated Graphics. Additionally, it also offers better Decoding Performance, when compared to its Predecessors. The GPU Codenamed GT3-U offers 48 Shader Processing Units, 8 TMUs and 2 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit Initially Runs at 300MHz and goes up to 1150MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory: Speed The Operating Memory Clock depends at which speed the System's RAM is running and which Memory Type is installed and is ultimately limited by the highest operating speed that the Processor supports. In this case, it is 933MHz. Depending on whether or not the System's RAM is Dual-Channeled, it can access either a 64-bit or 128-bit Memory Interface. An addition to the Iris Graphics is the access to a L4 Cache of 128MB eDRAM which further increases the Memory Performance. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU Shares the System's RAM which varies according to the System. The GPU may reserve up to 2GB. Performance Because Performance depends heavily on the Memory Bandwidth, it may vary heavily from System to System. Best Case Scenario, expect Performance Identical to a dedicated GeForce 940M. System Suggestions Iris Pro Graphics 6200 Mobile is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1366x768. We recommend 4GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
