GeForce GTX 1630 vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which has a core clock speed of 822 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1002 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 384 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1630		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (127%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should theoretically be a lot better than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 29952 (30%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 should be a small bit (more or less 6%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3072 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is the winner, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1536 (6%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

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