GeForce 940M vs Radeon RX 460
When choosing between GeForce 940M and Radeon RX 460, it is worth examining the specifications of the models in detail. Do they meet the recommended requirements of modern games and software? Storage capacity, form factor, TDP, available ports, warranty and manufacturer support are all important. For example, the size of a PC case can limit the maximum thickness and length of the card.
