In theory, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be 30% faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 29952 (30%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is a little bit (about 6%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3072 (6%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 will be a small bit (about 6%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, and should be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1536 (6%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen 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 higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
