In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 460 2GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 930 2GB.
The GT 930 has no core clock speed set, so any comparison between Texture and Pixel Fill Rates is not currently possible.
The GT 930 was released less than a year after the RX 460, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The Radeon RX 460 2GB and the GeForce GT 930 2GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The GT 930 has 16 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 460, which means that the memory performance of the GT 930 is slightly better than the RX 460.
The Radeon RX 460 2GB has 896 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 930 2GB has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 460 is 1075 and the actual shader performance of the GT 930 is 0. The RX 460 having 1075 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 460 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GT 930.
The RX 460 transistor size technology is 14 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GT 930. This means that the RX 460 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GT 930.
The Radeon RX 460 2GB requires 75 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 930 2GB requires 35 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the RX 460 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GT 930. The RX 460 requires 40 Watts more than the GT 930 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 460 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GT 930.

Mini Review | Overview Radeon RX 460 2GB is a middle-class graphics card based on the third revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Note that there is a 4GB version of the RX 460, which should be considered for future proofing. Architecture It equips a GPU codenamed Polaris 10 which is a 1st gen Polaris GPU, offering 896 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it requires at least a 350W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance This graphics card was designed and marketed towards the competitive MOBO gamers. A light weight, small form factor GPU solution that offers mobility, so that gamers travelling to events can bring a smaller cheaper gaming rig. The Radeon RX 460 2GB can play most modern games at medium graphics selection on a 1600p screen res and expect around 45+FPS System Suggestions Radeon RX 460 2GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1600x900. We recommend a mid range CPU and 8GB of system memory for optimal performance. | Overview GeForce GT 930 2GB is an upcoming middle-class Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Maxwell architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Maxwell Architecture succeeds the Kepler Architecture. Despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, it has an extremely large L2 Cache which allows NVIDIA to produce Graphics Cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance. Furthermore, the Shaders have been redesigned and are both more powerful and energy efficient. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed ???? which has 3 SM activated and thus offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 16 TMUs and 8 ROPs, on a 64-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. The central unit runs at XXXXMHz and goes up to XXXXMHz, in Turbo Mode, while the memory clock operates at 1250MHz. Features DirectX 12.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for GameStream, G-SYNC, GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce Experience, PhysX and other technologies. Cooling Solution Coming Soon! Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 35W, it requires at least a 300W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power. Release Price Coming Soon! Performance Coming Soon! System Suggestions Coming Soon! |
