GeForce GT 130 vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 460, which features a core clock speed of 1090 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is made up of 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 460, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GT 130 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 100000 (833%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 is quite a bit (about 409%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 49040 (409%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 will be quite a bit (about 118%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 130, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9440 (118%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
