Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The T400 4GB is significantly newer (2021 vs 2012). The T400 4GB likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GeForce GTX 680MX lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The T400 4GB is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 0.1% higher G3D Mark score. However, the GeForce GTX 680MX offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
