Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1630 will be 37% quicker than the Radeon R9 M375X overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 26304 (37%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 will be a lot (more or less 37%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15080 (37%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the Radeon R9 M375X, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11600 (71%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
