GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with a clock frequency of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (7%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be 14% quicker than the Radeon RX 560 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is just a bit (more or less 11%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7960 (11%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the Radeon RX 560, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28720 (153%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number 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 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
