Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 940M vs Radeon R7 M265
IntroThe GeForce 940M comes with clock speeds of 1072 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R7 M265, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 725 MHz. The DDR3 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this card. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R7 M265 should be 100% faster than the GeForce 940M in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 940M will be quite a bit (approximately 48%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M265. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce 940M is superior to the Radeon R7 M265, by a large margin. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
