GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs GeForce GT 430 1GB
Intro
The GeForce GT 430 (OEM) makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 700 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular model. It features 96 SPUs as well as 16 TAUs and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GT 430 1GB, which comes with core speeds of 700 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 96 SPUs along with 16 Texture Address Units and 4 ROPs.
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Both cards have the same power consumption.Memory Bandwidth
Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)
Texel Rate
Both cards have the exact same texel rate, so in theory they should perform equally good at at anisotropic filtering. (explain)Pixel Rate
Both cards have the exact same pixel rate, so in theory they should be equally good at at FSAA, and be capable of handling the same resolutions. (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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
