GeForce 940M vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1470 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2176 Stream Processors, 136 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should perform much faster than the GeForce 940M overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce 940M		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 442752 (2767%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be a lot (about 677%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 940M. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 940M		25728 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 174192 (677%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (approximately 997%) better at AA than the GeForce 940M, and able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 940M		8576 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85504 (997%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
