GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600, which has GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 950M		55 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (173%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 is 822% faster than the GeForce GTX 950M overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 950M		32000 MB/sec
	Difference: 262912 (822%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is much (about 381%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 950M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 950M		36560 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 139440 (381%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (more or less 502%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 950M, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 950M		14624 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 73376 (502%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
