Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 430 1GB vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 430 1GB comes with a clock frequency of 700 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 96 SPUs, 16 TAUs, and 4 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 650 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular card. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so in theory they should perform the same. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB is a lot (more or less 39%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB is a lot (more or less 86%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 430 1GB, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must 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 anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at 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 chip can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

One Response to “GeForce GT 430 1GB vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB”hmmm. looks like ATI is way infront of the GeForce. Even though I have always wanted GeForce cause it SEEMS better. Looks like ATI has won my money. As much as I would like to have the nVidia card I want the better card so ATI is my choice
