Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 920M vs Radeon HD 4670 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 920M comes with a clock speed of 954 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also features a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon HD 4670 1GB, which features a core clock frequency of 750 MHz and a GDDR4/GDDR3/DDR3/DDR2 memory speed of 1100 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 55 nm design. It is made up of 320(64x5) SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 4670 1GB should theoretically be much faster than the GeForce 920M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 920M will be a lot (approximately 27%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 4670 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce 920M is a better choice, by far. (explain)
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

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
