GeForce 930M vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which has GPU core speed of 1605 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2560 Stream Processors, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 5700 XT should be a lot faster than 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 will be a lot (about 1053%) better at anisotropic filtering 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 should be a lot (more or less 1284%) better at AA than the GeForce 930M, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
