GeForce 920M vs Radeon R7 M260

Intro

The GeForce 920M uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 954 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 900 MHz on this model. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M260, which comes with GPU core speed of 715 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 memory set to run at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 384 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 M260 should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce 920M overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 M260 16000 MB/sec
GeForce 920M 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 1600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 920M is quite a bit (approximately 78%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M260. (explain)

GeForce 920M 30528 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260 17160 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 13368 (78%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce 920M is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce 920M 7632 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260 5720 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1912 (33%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
