GeForce 920MX vs Intel UHD Graphics 620 Performance Spectrum

About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

GeForce 920MX vs Intel UHD Graphics 620: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce 920MX

2016

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs Unknown).
  • Intel UHD Graphics 620 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce 920MX is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • 2016 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Intel UHD Graphics 620

2017

Why buy it

  • More future proof: Generation 9.5 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 512 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2017 hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
