GeForce GTX 1630 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1630 makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1740 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which has a GPU core clock speed of 900 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1026 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 192 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 1630 55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 550 Ti 28800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 26880 (93%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is a lot (approximately 29%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630 27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 550 Ti 21600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 6240 (29%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
