In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 M270X are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce 920M 2GB.
The Radeon R9 M270X has a 150 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce 920M 2GB. This results in the Radeon R9 M270X providing 16.4 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The Radeon R9 M270X has a 150 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Render Output Units than the GeForce 920M 2GB. This results in the Radeon R9 M270X providing 7 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GeForce 920M 2GB was released less than a year after the Radeon R9 M270X, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GeForce 920M 2GB and the Radeon R9 M270X have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The Radeon R9 M270X has 49.6 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 920M 2GB, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon R9 M270X is noticeably better than the GeForce 920M 2GB.
The GeForce 920M 2GB has 384 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 M270X has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce 920M 2GB is 366 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon R9 M270X is 496. The Radeon R9 M270X having 130 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Radeon R9 M270X delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce 920M 2GB.
The GeForce 920M 2GB requires 25 Watts to run and the Radeon R9 M270X requires 50 Watts. The Radeon R9 M270X requires 25 Watts more than the GeForce 920M 2GB to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon R9 M270X to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GeForce 920M 2GB.

| Mini Review | Overview GeForce 920M 2GB is an Entry-Level Mobile Graphics Card based on the second revision of the Kepler Architecture. Architecture This Graphics Card Equips the Kepler GK208 GPU which is essentially a power optimized version of the GK107 GPU. Whereas it still has a count of 2 Stream Multiprocessors, the bus-width has been cut in half to allow for even a smaller power consumption and consequently a cooler operating temperature. Additionally, the GK208 GPU allows the Central Unit to reach a significant higher frequency, thanks to the Kepler Boost 2.0 Technology. The better the laptop's cooling system, the higher the frequency. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed GK208-N16V-GM which has 2 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 16 TMUs and 8 ROPs. The Central Unit is Initially clocked at 575MHz and goes up to 954MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of DDR3, through a 64-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is exaggerated and in no way benefits the GPU. The Memory Clock Operates at 900MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 25W, it is suited for small laptops. Performance GeForce 920M 2GB is essentially a slightly faster GeForce GT 735M and offers more or less comparable performance. System Suggestions We recommend a Modest Processor and 4GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GT 920M 2GB. | Radeon R9 M270X is an upcoming high-end mobile graphics Card, based on the 28nm GCN architecture. Radeon R9 M270X offers a GPU codenamed Venus xT which is at essence a mobile version of the Cape Verde XT GPU. Thus, it offers 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs, on a 128-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. The central unit runs at 725MHz and goes up to 775MHz, in Turbo Mode, while the memory clock operates at 1000MHz. Expect a rated board TDP of 60W. Its performance is therefore positioned between Radeon 7750 and Radeon 7770 and thus the card is not suited for 1080p gaming but it needs to be paired with at least 8GB of RAM and a considerably powerful Dual-Core processor. | |||
