In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The RX 560X has a 53 MHz higher core clock speed and 40 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This results in the RX 560X providing 48.3 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 RX 560X has a 53 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Render Output Units than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This results in the RX 560X providing 9.8 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 RX 560X was released over a year more recently than the GeForce 940MX 2GB, and so the RX 560X is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The RX 560X has 2048 MB more video memory than the GeForce 940MX 2GB, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX 560X also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX 560X has 96 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 940MX 2GB, which means that the memory performance of the RX 560X is massively better than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile has 1024 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce 940MX 2GB has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 560X is 1306 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce 940MX 2GB is 644. The RX 560X having 662 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 560X delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The RX 560X transistor size technology is 14 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This means that the RX 560X is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The Radeon RX 560X 4GB Mobile requires 80 Watts to run and the GeForce 940MX 2GB requires 25 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 560X. The RX 560X requires 55 Watts more than the GeForce 940MX 2GB to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 560X may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
