In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GTX 1650 Ti has a 363 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This results in the GTX 1650 Ti providing 56.3 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 GTX 1650 Ti has a 363 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Render Output Units than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This results in the GTX 1650 Ti providing 38.5 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 1650 Ti was released over three years more recently than the GeForce 940MX 2GB, and so the GTX 1650 Ti is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GeForce 940MX 2GB when running the latest games.
The GTX 1650 Ti 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 GTX 1650 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 1650 Ti has 240 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 940MX 2GB, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1650 Ti is massively better than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q has 1024 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce 940MX 2GB has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1650 Ti is 1705 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce 940MX 2GB is 644. The GTX 1650 Ti having 1061 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1650 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GTX 1650 Ti transistor size technology is 16 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce 940MX 2GB. This means that the GTX 1650 Ti is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce 940MX 2GB.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q requires 75 Watts to run and the GeForce 940MX 2GB requires 25 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 1650 Ti. The GTX 1650 Ti requires 50 Watts more than the GeForce 940MX 2GB to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1650 Ti may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce 940MX 2GB.

Mini Review | Overview
GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q is a mid-range GeForce 16 Series graphics card for laptops based on the Turing GPU architecture. It is smaller and doesn't drain the battery as fast compared to the mobile version, but it is weaker in performance. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal. Unlike the RTX series, the GTX series does not support real-time ray-tracing. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed N18P-G62, which has 1024 Shader Processing Units, 56 TMUs, 32 ROPs and 16 SMs. The central unit runs at 1485 MHz and goes up to 1665 MHz in Boost mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of GDDR6 through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock Operates at 2000MHz, or 8GHz effective. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, this graphics card does not require a dedicated power connector. Performance The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q will offer a performance around 10% slower than the desktop GTX 1650 Ti. This will enable medium to high graphics performance on modern AAA 2020 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on High graphics settings at 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will have slightly faster performance than the GTX 1060 Mobile. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440, so our recommendation would be to use 1920x1080 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a modern low-end processor such as the i5-8300 and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | 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. |
