In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M 4GB SLI are massively better than the AMD Radeon R9 M365X 4GB.
The GTX 965M has a 299 MHz higher core clock speed and 88 more Texture Mapping Units than the R9 M365X. This results in the GTX 965M providing 93.3 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 965M has a 299 MHz higher core clock speed and 48 more Render Output Units than the R9 M365X. This results in the GTX 965M providing 49.1 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The R9 M365X was released less than a year after the GTX 965M, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GeForce GTX 965M 4GB SLI and the Radeon R9 M365X 4GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The GTX 965M has 96 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the R9 M365X, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 965M is massively better than the R9 M365X.
The GeForce GTX 965M 4GB SLI has 2048 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 M365X 4GB has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 965M is 2627 and the actual shader performance of the R9 M365X is 340. The GTX 965M having 2287 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 965M delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the R9 M365X.
The GeForce GTX 965M 4GB SLI requires 100 Watts to run and the Radeon R9 M365X 4GB requires 50 Watts. The GTX 965M requires 50 Watts more than the R9 M365X to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 965M may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the R9 M365X.

| Mini Review | Overview GeForce GTX 965M 4GB SLI is a solution of two GeForce GTX 965M 4GB put together using NVIDIA's SLI technology. Architecture The Second variant of the Maxwell Architecture, despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, has an extremely large L2 Cache and features a Third Generation Delta Color Compression which allows NVIDIA to produce Graphics Cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance. Furthermore, the Shaders have been redesigned and are both more powerful and energy efficient. GPU It consists of 2 GPUs Codenamed GM204-N16E-GS which, together, offer 2048 Shader Processing Units, 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at 924MHz and goes up to 950MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory Each GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1253MHz. Power Consumption Power Consumption is around 100W. Performance Gaming benchmarks prove that at 2560x1440, the best suited resolution, GeForce GTX 965M 4GB SLI is around 10% faster than a Single GeForce GTX 980M. System Suggestions We recommend a High-End Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview Radeon R9 M365X 4GB is a Fast-Middle-Class Mobile Graphics Card based on the First Generation of the Graphics Core Next Architecture (GCN). Architecture Radeon R9 M365X 4GB Features a GPU Codenamed Venus PRO which is a First Gen GCN GPU and is identical to the Cape GPU used on the Desktop Radeon R7 250X. Venus PRO has 10 Compute Units Unlocked and thus offers 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit is Clocked at 625MHz. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with fast GDDR5 and Accesses the Frame Buffer through a 128-bit Memory Interface. The Memory Clock Operates at 1000MHz. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 4GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However, because the GPU itself is too weak to work under other circumstances in which 4GB of Memory are needed - such as 4K Gaming, a Large Frame Buffer is mostly a Gimmick. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 50W, it is suited for large laptops. Performance Radeon R9 M365X 4GB is a Direct Rebrand of Radeon R9 M265X. Performance is Comparable to the Desktop Radeon R7 250. System Suggestions Radeon R9 M365X 4GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1600x900. We recommend a Strong Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
