Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 will be 52% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
	Difference: 45056 (52%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (more or less 24%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 16344 (24%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a lot (approximately 42%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14112 (42%)

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 over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per 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 higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
