Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 430 1GB vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 430 1GB features a GPU clock speed of 700 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 96 Stream Processors, 16 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, which features a core clock frequency of 650 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 480 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform the same. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB should be quite a bit (more or less 39%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB should be a lot (more or less 86%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 430 1GB, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.

One Response to “GeForce GT 430 1GB vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB”hmmm. looks like ATI is way infront of the GeForce. Even though I have always wanted GeForce cause it SEEMS better. Looks like ATI has won my money. As much as I would like to have the nVidia card I want the better card so ATI is my choice
