GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce GTX 750

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 750, which comes with GPU core speed of 1020 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1250 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 512 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (83%)

Memory Bandwidth

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

GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 30848 (63%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GT 1030 is a lot (approximately 24%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)

GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7840 (24%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GT 1030 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		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 largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
