Well we have to see.
Like, yeah he's a good baseball player, he can play in the girls' softball league. LoL 
Not really. A GeForce 980 will do the trick to be honest. Now, if you want max max max settings, you need lots of memory speed and quantity. Actually, in most cases you need either or. It really depends on how the game engine works in loading textures. But you want both if you want great performance across the board. So you want something like a fast GPU with 8GB HBM2 memory. That is memory that is right next to the GPU. AMD has a graphics card with this technology (HBM1), but due to limitation of HBM1, it can only support 4GB.
Microsoft's secret sauce: DirectX 12 “Multiadapter” will use the integrated GPU and discrete GPU together.

Right on with everything. One small point though i believed the specs on a 940M indicate even slower DDR3 not GDDR3 unless they made a typo. either way as soon as you say customized all bets are off until you know how and what. He said it was optimized for running Professional Applications, so some benchmarks might reveal that and others may not. The apparent removal of PhysX may not have been as important to the targeted apps or didn't buy much over what the i7 could do.
I think it will do well with what it was targeted at which was definitely not games but it will run LoL (I'm guessing that must be a gamers inside joke).
Been there, looked at that
however sometimes there's artifacts of specs on a chart never implemented, as I never found a 940M with GDDR5 or 40MB/s bandwidth anywhere. All to say, customized is customized and customizing up is much harder than customizing down but who knows what NVIDIA had on the table to play with. When I look at where they ended up and then at the 940M or 950M I think it's a whole lot easier to get to the end state starting from a 950M. That in no way suggests it's end state performance level. Some things don't add up almost as if the GPU-Z detection is flat wrong.I think you just said what I said
it's harder to stretch silicone or add in missing pieces, than it is to disable stuff you don't need. There are certain elements of this mystery GPU that seem to exceed the std 940M. If I was making this Id take a 950M blow off the parts I don't need or had to eliminate to fit the thermal envelope and call it done. Much easier than masking a new part even if I already have all the changes on file in the library. Although perhaps NVIDIA was going to make a 945x model anyway.
