GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 1630, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be a small bit (about 11%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6240 (11%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 48%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1630, and able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13440 (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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
