Radeon R9 M380		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 2304 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 should be quite a bit (more or less 39%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 M380. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		40000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15680 (39%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is a lot (more or less 74%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M380, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		16000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11840 (74%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
