GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460, which comes with GPU core speed of 1090 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 460 should theoretically be a little bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1630 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 13696 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 will be a bit (more or less 10%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 5360 (10%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the Radeon RX 460, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 10400 (60%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 worked out 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

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