r9 m375 or 940m

[rupanjan]

Which of the above two will be better for gaming?

 

[AdviserKulikov]

The 940m will be better, but neither are particularly heavy lifters. If you want to play modern games at 1080p you'll want something a tier up from those.

But the r9 one has higher mem bandwidth and higher texture and pixel fill rate??

It's also new enough that there aren't established benchmarks, or significant information on the product. It's not even released... Currently the products they have released with similar statistics under-perform.

The 940m is out already.

If you want to wait, maybe it will be better than expected, but the statistics I can find show it is likely a rebadge of the previous generation GPU which is strictly weaker.

Yeah i can see that too but the gpuz specs and a 3d mark11 benchmark is better.what about gpu core is AMD cape verde better than Maxwell?? also the specs for 940 in gpuboss is wrong.it does not have 640 core neither a 65Gtixel/sec rate and 128bit bus it has 64bit bus with tex rate of 34gtixel whereas r9 has 128 bit bus a 65.5gtixel rate.

Cape verde is a 2011 architecture, Maxwell is 2014. AMD is usually about half a generation behind anyways. Maxwell is definitely better.

GPUZ and 3dMark11 can be fooled and tweaked, it's much better to get benchmarks for gaming from either a trustworthy 3rd party source such as Tom's Hardware reviews, or from mass testing such as notebookcheck.net

Mass testing is good because it's from normal everyday users, and gives you an idea of what the product turns out when used by a consumer, rather than what a marketer gets under very specific settings.

which model is it the rebadge

The m375 appears to be a rebadge of the m275

there is no model as r9 m275 in amd website it is 275x which is gddr5

I missed the x, oh well. There's nothing to indicate it's going to be any better than its predecessor.

RAM type has little influence compared to architecture.
