GeForce 920M vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 1630, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1740 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 512 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 will be a lot (about 82%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 920M. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is a lot (about 265%) more effective at AA than the GeForce 920M, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
