GeForce GT 130 vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 570, which features clock speeds of 1168 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 570 should be a lot (more or less 1146%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 137504 (1146%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 570 will be a lot (about 367%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 130, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 29376 (367%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units 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 fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
