GeForce 920M vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 1630, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1630 is 583% quicker than the GeForce 920M overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce 920M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 83904 (583%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 will be much (more or less 82%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 920M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 920M		30528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 25152 (82%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 920M		7632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20208 (265%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
