GeForce GT 430 1GB vs Radeon RX 5600 XT
Intro
The GeForce GT 430 1GB makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 700 MHz. The GDDR3 memory runs at a speed of 900 MHz on this particular card. It features 96 SPUs as well as 16 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
