GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX 1060

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 1060, which has GPU clock speed of 1506 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 1280 Stream Processors, 80 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 130		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 1060		120 Watts
	Difference: 45 Watts (60%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1060 should be 1538% faster than the GeForce GT 130 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1060		196608 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 184608 (1538%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1060 will be quite a bit (about 904%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1060		120480 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 108480 (904%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1060 should be quite a bit (more or less 804%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 130, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1060		72288 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64288 (804%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, 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, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
