Compare any two graphics cards:

GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1650 uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1485 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 8000 MHz on this particular model. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2060, which has core speeds of 1365 MHz on the GPU, and 14000 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be a lot (more or less 97%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be quite a bit (about 38%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1650, and able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 that the graphics card 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 Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
