Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1630 vs Radeon HD 4870 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1630 features a GPU core clock speed of 1740 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM is set to run at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 512 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 4870 1GB, which comes with core clock speeds of 750 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 800(160x5) SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 4870 1GB should in theory be a little bit better than the GeForce GTX 1630 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 is quite a bit (about 86%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4870 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the Radeon HD 4870 1GB, and very much so. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one 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 - sometimes also referred to as 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
