Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1630, in theory, should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce 930M overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 83904 (583%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is quite a bit (about 150%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33408 (150%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the GeForce 930M, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20416 (275%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
