This Graphics Card needs to be paired with a decent Quad Core Processor and at least 8GB of RAM. Therefore, most of today's games can be played at the highest settings and only a few not with 1080p. Similarly, DOTA 2 runs at about 80-90 fps at Ultra settings and 1080p. On ultra-high detail settings and 1080p resolution, the card easily keeps the game at above 60 frames per second all the time, typically at around 100 fps. In terms of performance, the card proves to be faster than the higher positioned GeForce GTX 770M, while it consumes 25% less energy. For World of Warcraft and other popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), the 860M is an overkill. Furthermore, the frame buffer was doubled to 4GB though this will not boost its performance and can be addressed as a gimmick - marketing to lure consumers into paying more for the same product.

The Full GM107 offers 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs, on a 128-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. This variant comes with the extremely energy efficient GM107 Core first seen on GeForce GTX 750/GeForce GTX 750 Ti.

GeForce GTX 860M 4GB is a high-end mobile graphics card, based on the 28nm Maxwell GM107 Core. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS GRAPHICS CARD HAS 2 VARIANTS: MAXWELL AND KEPLER. GeForce GTX 860M 4GB Game Requirement Analysis
