GeForce 930M vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700, which has core clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 should be a lot faster than the GeForce 930M in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 444352 (3086%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 will be much (more or less 847%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 188688 (847%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be much (more or less 1163%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce 930M, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 86336 (1163%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
