GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which features GPU clock speed of 1020 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 Stream Processors, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		60 Watts
	Difference: 30 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti should in theory perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 1030 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		86400 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 37248 (76%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti is a small bit (approximately 1%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 320 (1%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GT 1030 is a lot (about 24%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3920 (24%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once 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, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
