GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 1630, which has GPU core speed of 1740 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1500 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 512 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be 17% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1630 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a small bit (more or less 11%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1630. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6240 (11%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13440 (48%)

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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better 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 video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of 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 output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
