GeForce GT 1030 vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1247 MHz, and 8192 MB of HBM2 memory set to run at 1890 MHz through a 2048-bit bus. It also is comprised of 4096 Stream Processors, 256 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
Radeon RX Vega 64		295 Watts
	Difference: 265 Watts (883%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX Vega 64 should be 908% quicker than the GeForce GT 1030 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		495411 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 446259 (908%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 will be a lot (more or less 689%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		319232 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 278752 (689%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 is a lot (about 294%) better at AA than the GeForce GT 1030, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 59568 (294%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure 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 outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
