GeForce GT 1030 vs Radeon VII

Intro

The GeForce GT 1030 features clock speeds of 1265 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 384 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which features core speeds of 1400 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 memory. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GT 1030 30 Watts
Radeon VII 295 Watts
Difference: 265 Watts (883%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon VII should perform much faster than the GeForce GT 1030 in general. (explain)

Radeon VII 1048576 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030 49152 MB/sec
Difference: 999424 (2033%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII is a lot (approximately 730%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

Radeon VII 336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030 40480 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 295520 (730%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon VII is superior to the GeForce GT 1030, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon VII 89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030 20240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 69360 (343%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
