Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should in theory be much faster than the Radeon R7 M265 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M265		32000 MB/sec
	Difference: 54400 (170%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is a lot (more or less 241%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M265. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		17400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 41992 (241%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is superior to the Radeon R7 M265, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		5800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9048 (156%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure 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 graphics 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 card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of 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.
