GeForce GT 430 1GB vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which features a core clock frequency of 1290 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 768 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

	Difference: 50720 (453%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be much (more or less 1374%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 430 1GB, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38480 (1374%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
