Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 940M vs Radeon R5 M330
IntroThe GeForce 940M comes with a clock frequency of 1072 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 384 SPUs, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon R5 M330, which has a clock speed of 1030 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 320 SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce 940M should be a small bit faster than the Radeon R5 M330 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 940M will be a lot (about 25%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce 940M is superior to the Radeon R5 M330, not by a very large margin though. (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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. 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 is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
