GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 460 should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 overall. (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 small bit (approximately 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 far. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock 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 fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
