GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon VII, which comes with core speeds of 1400 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 220 Watts (293%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon VII, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1650 overall. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 917504 (700%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII is much (more or less 304%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 252840 (304%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon VII is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 42080 (89%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock 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 that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. 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 fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
