VS

GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX 1050

Intro

The GeForce GT 130 comes with clock speeds of 500 MHz on the GPU, and 250 MHz on the 768 MB of DDR2 memory. It features 48 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 1050, which comes with clock speeds of 1354 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GT 130 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 114688 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130 12000 MB/sec
Difference: 102688 (856%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 will be quite a bit (approximately 351%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 54160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130 12000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 42160 (351%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 should be a lot (approximately 442%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GT 130, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 43328 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130 8000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 35328 (442%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
