GeForce 8800 GTX vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1630, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1740 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 512 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

	Difference: 80 Watts (107%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1630 will be 14% faster than the GeForce 8800 GTX in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GTX		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 11904 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 is quite a bit (more or less 51%) better at AF than the GeForce 8800 GTX. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTX		36800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 18880 (51%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the GeForce 8800 GTX, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTX		13800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14040 (102%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
