GeForce 930M vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with clock speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 560 should be 696% faster than the GeForce 930M in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 100288 (696%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 should be much (approximately 238%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 52928 (238%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 should be quite a bit (approximately 153%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 930M, and also capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11376 (153%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
