GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1175 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		60 Watts
Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (33%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 560 is 298% quicker than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM) overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 85888 (298%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 will be much (more or less 571%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 64000 (571%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 should be quite a bit (approximately 571%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16000 (571%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel 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 maximum fill rate.
