GeForce 940M

2015

Why buy it

✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs Unknown).

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌725% higher power demand at 33W vs 4W.

UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 24 EU)

2021

Why buy it

✅Less risky long-term buy than GeForce 940M: it remains the more sensible modern option while GeForce 940M is already obsolete for modern gaming.
✅Draws 4W instead of 33W, a 29W reduction.
✅More future proof: Gen. 11 (2021) on 10nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2021-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce 940M better than UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 24 EU)?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 1,133 vs 1,100 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce 940M is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 24 EU) is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2015 and a 10nm process instead of 28nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce 940M can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around Unknown MSRP. GeForce 940M is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. GeForce 940M is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 3.0% higher G3D Mark. UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 24 EU) is the newer 2021 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (4W vs 33W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 24 EU) make more sense than GeForce 940M?

Yes. UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 24 EU) is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (4W vs 33W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce 940M. The trade-off is that GeForce 940M currently gives you 3.0% higher G3D Mark. G3D-per-dollar is basically tied between them.
