GeForce 930MX: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The GeForce 930MX was a 17-watt accessory for business laptops — enough silicon to deserve a sticker, never enough to change what the machine was for. The catalog has benchmarked it in 70 games at 1080p across 5 matched models.

Where the 930MX sits in 2026

The catalog scores the chip at 9.6 — 253rd of 341 scored mobile GPUs, bottom quarter of the table. The neighbors are contemporary integrated graphics: Intel's UHD Graphics 730 (10.5) and Iris Pro P6300 (10.1) above, the Radeon RX Vega M GL (9.5), Quadro 4000M (8.6) and UHD 630 (8.3) below. A dedicated GPU ranking among desktop iGPUs of the 2015–2020 era is its final position: the sticker said graphics, the silicon said otherwise.

What the chip brings

The GM108S die — Maxwell's smallest mobile form on 28 nm: 384 shader cores, 2 GB of DDR3 or GDDR5 on a 64-bit bus with 14 GB/s of bandwidth, a 1020 MHz boost clock and a 17 W envelope. Roughly 0.78 TFLOPS of throughput, CUDA for light media acceleration, nothing else to recommend it. Public synthetics: PassMark 1273, Time Spy 493.

FPS in games at 1080p

The capped quartet headlines as always — CS:GO and Overwatch at 240 FPS, GTA V and PUBG at 140 at the high preset — with Team Fortress 2 at 75 the best number below it. Then the fall: FIFA 18 at 52, Valorant at 45, FIFA 20 at 42, The Sims 4 at 40, Fortnite at 37, Dota 2 at 36. The modern shelf is closed for business: Counter-Strike 2 at 10, The Witcher 3 at 10, Cyberpunk 2077 at 8, Forza Horizon 4 at 14, Resident Evil 4 Remake at 4, Metro Exodus at 2.

Laptops that carry it

All 5 matched models are business machines from 2016–2017: HP's ProBook 470 G5 at $278, ProBook 470 G4 at $297 and ProBook 440 G4 at $127, plus Dell's Latitude 5580 at $159 and 5480 at $184. Roster medians: gaming index 13, overall score 35 — office fleet hardware, priced accordingly.

Bottom line

The 930MX is the purest example in the catalog of the checkbox GPU: it existed to add a line to a business laptop's spec sheet, drew 17 W, and moved the performance needle barely at all — its own roster's gaming median of 13 says so without interpretation. The $127–$297 machines carrying it are buying decisions about keyboards, ports and build, not graphics. If gaming factors into the purchase at any weight, this chip eliminates itself: the catalog's compare pages against any MX- or RTX-class part show multiples of difference in every modern title.
