The GTX 860M offers less memory (2GB vs 3GB), but as long as we are looking at 1080p notebooks, it shouldn’t really matter. The benefit of GTX 770M over GTX 860M is wider interface (192b vs 128b), but it also consumes more power (75W vs ~45W). However, in Extreme profile we have slightly lower score than GTX 770M, but I think it’s safe to say that these cards are comparable, and let’s not forget, Maxwell has a great overclocking potential. This is somewhere in-between desktop GTX 650 TI Boost and R7 260X. The score of 5339 points in 3DMark 11 suggest we are looking at performance level above GTX 770M. The GPU-Z didn’t read core clocks correctly, so all we have is memory clock of 1253 MHz (5 GHz effective). It packs 640 CUDA cores, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs. GeForce GTX 860M will use the same GPU variant as desktop GTX 750 Ti. The newest GeForce 800M series will kick off with Maxwell GPUs very soon. This Graphics Card needs to be paired with a decent Quad Core Processor and at least 8GB of RAM.Surprisingly or not, the GM107 has landed in mobile segment. Therefore, most of today's games can be played at the highest settings and only a few not with 1080p. In terms of performance, the card proves to be faster than the higher positioned GeForce GTX 770M, while it consumes 25% less energy. Furthermore, the frame buffer was doubled to 4GB though this will not boost its performance and can be addressed as a gimmick - marketing to lure consumers into paying more for the same product. The Full GM107 offers 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs, on a 128-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. This variant comes with the extremely energy efficient GM107 Core first seen on GeForce GTX 750/GeForce GTX 750 Ti. GeForce GTX 860M 4GB is a high-end mobile graphics card, based on the 28nm Maxwell GM107 Core. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS GRAPHICS CARD HAS 2 VARIANTS: MAXWELL AND KEPLER.
