GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 480

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 480, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon RX 480		150 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 480 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1650 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 480		262144 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 131072 (100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 480 is quite a bit (approximately 94%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon RX 480		161280 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 78120 (94%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 480		35840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11680 (33%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling 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 the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
