GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon R9 M385X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M385X, which features GPU clock speed of 1100 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1500 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1650, in theory, should be a lot faster than the Radeon R9 M385X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M385X		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 35072 (37%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be a lot (approximately 35%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M385X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M385X		61600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21560 (35%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution 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 R9 M385X		17600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 29920 (170%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
