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

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon HD 4870 1GB will be 17% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1630 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1630 should be a lot (approximately 86%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4870 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the Radeon HD 4870 1GB, by a large margin. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number 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 outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
