Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1630 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce 930M overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 83904 (583%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 should be much (approximately 150%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33408 (150%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is much (about 275%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 930M, and will be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20416 (275%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
