Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 920M vs Radeon R9 M375X
IntroThe GeForce 920M makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 954 MHz. The DDR3 memory works at a frequency of 900 MHz on this model. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which has GPU clock speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon R9 M375X should in theory be much superior to the GeForce 920M overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X should be quite a bit (about 33%) better at AF than the GeForce 920M. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375X is the winner, 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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
