GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

The GeForce GTX 950M comes with core clock speeds of 914 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 950M 55 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 180 Watts
Difference: 125 Watts (227%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5700 should in theory be quite a bit better than the GeForce GTX 950M in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 950M 32000 MB/sec
Difference: 426752 (1334%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be much (about 477%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 950M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 950M 36560 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 174400 (477%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 950M 14624 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 79136 (541%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
