With SLI, each card renders a single frame (AFR mode). The clocks for the SLI-setup are usually identical to a single GTX 965M (924 MHz GPU, 1250 MHz memory). Each card has a 28 nm GM204 GPU based on the Maxwell architecture, which is the same chip as found on the GTX 980M, GTX 970M as well as several desktop cards. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M SLI is a high-end DirectX 11-compatible graphics solution for laptops, consisting of two GeForce GTX 965M. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M SLI ► remove from comparison

The 900M series also supports Optimus to automatically switch between an integrated graphics card and the Nvidia GPU. Therefore, the GPU is best suited for 15-inch laptops or larger. The power consumption of the GeForce GTX 960M should be similar to the old GTX 860M (about 60 watts). Of course, VP6 supports all features of previous generations (4K support, PIP, video encoding via NVENC API). Unfortunately, HDMI 2.0 is still not supported. GM107 integrates the sixth generation of the PureVideo HD video engine (VP6), offering a better decoding performance for H.264 and MPEG-2 videos. However, very demanding games such as Assassin's Creed Unity will require lower resolutions and/or details. Many games of 2014/2015 can be played fluently in FullHD resolution and high detail settings. Overall, the 960M is almost 10 percent faster and similar to the desktop GTX 750 Ti.

GM107 supports DirectX 12 with feature level 11_0 only.Īlthough the GTX 960M has the same memory bandwidth as the previous GTX 860M, its higher core clock leads to a slightly better performance. The increased size can handle some of the memory traffic to allow for a relatively narrow memory interface without significantly reducing the performance. Smaller Streaming Multiprocessors (SMM) with only 128 ALUs (Kepler: 192) and an optimized scheduler should lead to better utilization of the shaders. Nvidia promises that a Maxwell SMM with 128 ALUs can offer 90 percent of the performance of a Kepler SMX with 192 ALUs. GM107 features 5 SMMs and thus 640 shader cores, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs (128-bit interface).Īnother optimization is the massively enlarged L2 cache (GM107: 2 MB). The GTX 960M offers 640 shader units clocked at 1097 - 1202 MHz (Boost) as well as fast GDDR5 memory (128 bit, 5000 MHz effective, 80 GB/s).Ĭompared to the previous and technically very similar GTX 860M, the GTX 960M is clocked slightly higher.Ĭompared to Kepler, Maxwell has been optimized in several details to increase power efficiency. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M is an upper mid-range, DirectX 11-compatible graphics card for laptops unveiled in March 2015. It is based on Nvidia's Maxwell architecture (GM107 chip) and manufactured in 28 nm.
