GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1630 comes with a GPU clock speed of 1740 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory is set to run at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 512 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 560, which features a clock speed of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Radeon RX 560 75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630 55680 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 19520 (35%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 should be quite a bit (more or less 48%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 560, and able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630 27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560 18800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 9040 (48%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should 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 anti-aliasing, HDR 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 texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
