GeForce GT 430 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 430		60 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GT 430 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 266112 (924%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (approximately 1471%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 164800 (1471%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is quite a bit (more or less 3043%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85200 (3043%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
