Compare any two graphics cards:

GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1650 makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1485 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 2001 MHz on this particular model. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2060, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1365 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 212992 (163%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 will be much (more or less 97%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 80640 (97%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18000 (38%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant 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.
