In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 940 2GB.
The GT 940 has no core clock speed set, so any comparison between Texture and Pixel Fill Rates is not currently possible.
The GTX 1080 Ti was released less than a year after the GT 940, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 9216 MB more video memory than the GT 940, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 1080 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 404.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GT 940, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is massively better than the GT 940.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB has 3584 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 940 2GB has 512. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is 7654 and the actual shader performance of the GT 940 is 0. The GTX 1080 Ti having 7654 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1080 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GT 940.
The GTX 1080 Ti transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GT 940. This means that the GTX 1080 Ti is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GT 940.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB requires 220 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 940 2GB requires 60 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 1080 Ti and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GT 940. The GTX 1080 Ti requires 160 Watts more than the GT 940 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1080 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GT 940.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Pascal Architecture. Architecture It equips a GPU Codenamed P102, which is a first gen Pascal GPU and has 28 SM units activated, offering 3584 shader processing units, 224 TMUs and 88 ROPs. GPU The central unit runs at 1480MHz and goes up to 1582MHz in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 11GB frame buffer of Fast GDDR5X memory, through 352-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1376MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 220W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with available 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors. Performance The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB performance is capable of 2017 AAA gaming at high graphics settings across all games. This GPU will deliver strong frame rates at 4K on any game at high graphics levels. System Suggestions GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160 (4K). We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview GeForce GT 940 2GB is an upcoming middle-class Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Maxwell architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Maxwell Architecture succeeds the Kepler Architecture. Despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, it has an extremely large L2 Cache 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 equips a GPU codenamed ???? which has 8 SM activated and thus offers 512 Shader Processing Units, 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs, on a 128-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. The central unit runs at XXXXMHz and goes up to XXXXMHz, in Turbo Mode, while the memory clock operates at 1250MHz. Features DirectX 12.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for GameStream, G-SYNC, GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce Experience, PhysX and other technologies. Cooling Solution Coming Soon! Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 60W, it requires at least a 300W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power. Release Price Coming Soon! Performance Coming Soon!
