GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 1630, which comes with core speeds of 1740 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1630 should in theory be a lot faster than the GeForce GT 130 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 86304 (719%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 will be a lot (approximately 364%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 43680 (364%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 should be a lot (more or less 248%) better at AA than the GeForce GT 130, and capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 19840 (248%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
