GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which features a core clock speed of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It features 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 will be a lot (approximately 35%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 19520 (35%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9040 (48%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
