GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce RTX 2070

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2070, which features a clock speed of 1410 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 327680 (250%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 will be quite a bit (approximately 144%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 119880 (144%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 42720 (90%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high 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 number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
