GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 1630, which comes with clock speeds of 1740 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be 17% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a small bit (more or less 11%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6240 (11%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be quite a bit (about 48%) better at AA than the GeForce GTX 1630, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13440 (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
