Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1630 vs GeForce GTX 460 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1630 makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 460 1GB, which features clock speeds of 675 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 336 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 1GB is 17% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 is quite a bit (more or less 47%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 460 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 is much (about 29%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 460 1GB, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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 bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
