Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1630 vs GeForce GTX 260
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1630 comes with a core clock frequency of 1740 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also features a 64-bit bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It features 512 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 260, which has core speeds of 576 MHz on the GPU, and 999 MHz on the 896 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 192 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 28 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 260 should be a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 should be a lot (approximately 51%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 260. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 will be much (more or less 73%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 260, and also will 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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. 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 also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
