GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon HD 7790

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1630 makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run 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 HD 7790, which has GPU clock speed of 1000 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1500 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 1630 75 Watts
Radeon HD 7790 85 Watts
Difference: 10 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1630 will be 2% quicker than the Radeon HD 7790 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630 98304 MB/sec
Radeon HD 7790 96000 MB/sec
Difference: 2304 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 7790 is a small bit (about 1%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

Radeon HD 7790 56000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630 55680 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 320 (1%)

Pixel Rate

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

GeForce GTX 1630 27840 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 7790 16000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 11840 (74%)

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 MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant 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.
