GeForce 940M vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 1630, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 1630 should theoretically be quite a bit better than the GeForce 940M in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce 940M		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 82304 (514%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is quite a bit (approximately 116%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 940M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 940M		25728 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 29952 (116%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 940M		8576 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 19264 (225%)

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 max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
