GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 1630, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1740 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 512 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, in theory, should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a little bit (approximately 11%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6240 (11%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be a lot (more or less 48%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1630, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13440 (48%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
