GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which features GPU clock speed of 1090 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 896 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 2GB in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 19072 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (about 36%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 460 2GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22120 (36%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be much (more or less 172%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon RX 460 2GB, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
