GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which comes with GPU core speed of 1485 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 2001 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a lot (more or less 54%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 29000 (54%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 4192 (10%)

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. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
