GeForce GT 430 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which comes with clock speeds of 1290 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GT 430		60 Watts
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (25%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GT 430 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 85888 (298%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be much (more or less 453%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 430. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 50720 (453%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is superior to the GeForce GT 430, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38480 (1374%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
