GeForce 940M vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1470 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2176 SPUs as well as 136 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be 2767% quicker than the GeForce 940M in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce 940M		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 442752 (2767%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is quite a bit (more or less 677%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 940M. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 940M		25728 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 174192 (677%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 940M		8576 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85504 (997%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
