Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 285 2GB will be 21% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1650 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 285 2GB		158976 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 27904 (21%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (about 60%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 285 2GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 285 2GB		51840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 31320 (60%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 285 2GB		20736 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26784 (129%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
