In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce 920M 2GB are massively better than the AMD Radeon HD 6290.

The GeForce 920M 2GB has a 175 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Texture Mapping Units than the Radeon HD 6290. This results in the GeForce 920M 2GB providing 15.2 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 GeForce 920M 2GB has a 175 MHz higher core clock speed and 4 more Render Output Units than the Radeon HD 6290. This results in the GeForce 920M 2GB providing 3 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 over three years more recently than the Radeon HD 6290, and so the GeForce 920M 2GB is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the Radeon HD 6290 when running the latest games.

The GeForce 920M 2GB has 2048 MB video memory, but the Radeon HD 6290 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.

The GeForce 920M 2GB has 384 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon HD 6290 has 80. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce 920M 2GB is 366 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon HD 6290 is 21. The GeForce 920M 2GB having 345 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GeForce 920M 2GB delivers a slightly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Radeon HD 6290.

The GeForce 920M 2GB transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Radeon HD 6290. This means that the GeForce 920M 2GB is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Radeon HD 6290.

The GeForce 920M 2GB requires 25 Watts to run and the Radeon HD 6290 requires 9 Watts. The GeForce 920M 2GB requires 16 Watts more than the Radeon HD 6290 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GeForce 920M 2GB to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the Radeon HD 6290.
