In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce 940MX 2GB are massively better than the AMD Radeon HD 6480G.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB was released over three years more recently than the Radeon HD 6480G, and so the GeForce 940MX 2GB is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the Radeon HD 6480G when running the latest games.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has 2048 MB video memory, but the Radeon HD 6480G does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB has 384 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon HD 6480G has 240. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce 940MX 2GB is 644 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon HD 6480G is 69. The GeForce 940MX 2GB having 575 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GeForce 940MX 2GB delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Radeon HD 6480G.
The GeForce 940MX 2GB requires 25 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon HD 6480G.
