GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 460, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 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 1650 will be 17% quicker than the Radeon RX 460 in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 19072 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (more or less 36%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22120 (36%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (more or less 172%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon RX 460, and also able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30080 (172%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number 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 applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
