GeForce 920M vs GeForce GTX 1080

Intro

The GeForce 920M uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 954 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 900 MHz on this specific model. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 1080, which has a clock frequency of 1607 MHz and a GDDR5X memory frequency of 1251 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 16 nm design. It features 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
