GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon R9 M385X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1630 has a clock speed of 1740 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It is made up of 512 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M385X, which has a clock frequency of 1100 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M385X is a bit (about 11%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

Radeon R9 M385X 61600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630 55680 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 5920 (11%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630 27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M385X 17600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 10240 (58%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
