GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 460, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1650 should perform a small bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 19072 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be much (about 36%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22120 (36%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (about 172%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 460, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30080 (172%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
