Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 1050 should theoretically be just a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1630 overall. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is a bit (approximately 3%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1520 (3%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 15488 (56%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
