GeForce 930M vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which features a core clock speed of 1605 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also features a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5700 XT should theoretically be a lot superior to the GeForce 930M in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 1053%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 234528 (1053%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT will be much (more or less 1284%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce 930M, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 95296 (1284%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is 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 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
