VS

GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1630 uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular model. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which features GPU core speed of 1090 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 460 2GB, in theory, should be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB 112000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630 98304 MB/sec
Difference: 13696 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 2GB will be a small bit (more or less 10%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB 61040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630 55680 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 5360 (10%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630 27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB 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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
