GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 329664 (2289%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is much (approximately 789%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 175728 (789%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is much (approximately 1085%) better at FSAA than the GeForce 930M, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 80576 (1085%)

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

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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