Does higher Shader mean better performance?

[sereyrothanak22]

im not sure which is better
a gt 940mx with 384 - unified and 1122 - 1242 (Boost) MHz
or
a gt940mx with 512 - unifiend and 795 - 861 MHz

Hard to say. The second one while having many cuda cores the clock is much lower. Probably there isn't much difference in performance between the two

There will be more tradeoff because more cores vs higher clock speed. So it is nearly impossible to tell more than likely it will be on a case by case basis which one is better.

A better question? Why are you limited to these two cards?
Surely another laptop has similar features with better cards and should be for almost the same price.
Even a 1050M will yield more than twice the performance of a 940m.
