Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon R9 M365X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 950M features a GPU core clock speed of 914 MHz, and the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM runs at 1000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which has GPU clock speed of 925 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 640 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 M365X will be 125% faster than the GeForce GTX 950M in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M365X is a bit (more or less 1%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 950M. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M365X will be a bit (about 1%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 950M, and able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
