GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon R7 M265

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M265, which comes with core clock speeds of 725 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1630 should be 207% faster than the Radeon R7 M265 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M265		32000 MB/sec
	Difference: 66304 (207%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 should be a lot (more or less 220%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M265. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		17400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 38280 (220%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		5800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22040 (380%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video 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 number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
