Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon R9 M385X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1630 comes with a GPU core speed of 1740 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory is set to run at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 512 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M385X, which has a clock speed of 1100 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1630 will be 2% faster than the Radeon R9 M385X in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M385X should be a little bit (approximately 11%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 will be much (more or less 58%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M385X, and also able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
