Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon RX 460
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1630 uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 460, which has clock speeds of 1090 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 460 will be 14% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 460 will be a small bit (about 10%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 should be much (about 60%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 460, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number 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 per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
