GeForce GTX 1630 vs Geforce GTX 1080 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, which makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1480 MHz. The GDDR5X memory works at a speed of 1376 MHz on this particular card. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 Texture Address Units and 88 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1630		75 Watts
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 175 Watts (233%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		495616 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 397312 (404%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is a lot (more or less 495%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 275840 (495%)

Pixel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is quite a bit (about 368%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1630, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 102400 (368%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
