I can buy an Asus K501 laptop with either a GTX 950M or 940M video card. Am I correct that the 950M is better but also has higher power consumption then the 940M, apparently 50W vs 30W see below. I don't know if the 950M has cooling itself and if it's different/better or louder then the 940M, but is it reasonable to assume if i get the K501 with the 950M that the fans will have to work harder meaning more noise then with a 940M?
I found this 950M vs 940M comparison:
To complete the info: I can buy either an ASUS K501UB-DM031T-BE with 940M or ASUS K501UX-DM140T with 950M in case somebody knows the difference between a K501UB vs K501UX.
Hope knowledge people here can clarify with this. Thanks in advance.
I found this 950M vs 940M comparison:
Both GPUs are part of the Maxwell family and feature NVIDIA Optimus and NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0. However, GTX 950M has 640 shader units (384 for 940M), a 128-bit memory bus (64-bit for 940M) and higher power consumption about 50 watts (~30W for 940M).
