GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

Compare those specs 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 speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 TAUs and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (113%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1650 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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 - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
