GeForce GTX 1630		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		120 Watts
	Difference: 45 Watts (60%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti should be 200% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1630 overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (200%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti should be much (more or less 159%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 88320 (159%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 44160 (159%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
