GeForce 920M vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 1630, which comes with a clock speed of 1740 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also features a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It is comprised of 512 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1630 should in theory be a lot faster than the GeForce 920M overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce 920M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 83904 (583%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is a lot (about 82%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 920M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 920M		30528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 25152 (82%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 920M		7632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20208 (265%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
