GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with core clock speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 is a lot (more or less 571%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 64000 (571%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 is a lot (more or less 571%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16000 (571%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it 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, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could 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 Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
