GeForce 8800 Ultra vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 1630, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1740 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 512 Stream Processors, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

	Difference: 96 Watts (128%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce 8800 Ultra should be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general. (explain)

GeForce 8800 Ultra		103680 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 5376 (5%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is much (about 42%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 Ultra. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 Ultra		39168 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 16512 (42%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 will be quite a bit (more or less 90%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce 8800 Ultra, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 Ultra		14688 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13152 (90%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per 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 this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
