GRID M10 8Q vs UHD Graphics 615

If you are going to buy a new graphics card and are choosing between GRID M10 8Q and UHD Graphics 615, there are a couple of things to consider. Cards with more VRAM in general perform better and allow you to play on higher graphics settings. Size also makes a difference. A model with a large heatsink can occupy up to three expansion slots on a motherboard. Be sure you have enough room in your PC case. When comparing GPUs with different architectures, more processing cores and even higher TFLOPS will not always translate to better performance. To help you decide which GPU you need, we have measured frame rates in a number of popular games. For more on how the GRID M10 8Q stacks up against UHD Graphics 615, check out specs charts below.

UHD Graphics 615 is a Laptop Graphics Card

Note: UHD Graphics 615 is only used in laptop graphics. It has lower GPU clock speed compared to the desktop variant, which results in lower power consumption, but also 10-30% lower gaming performance. Check available laptop models with UHD Graphics 615 here:
