GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon R5 M230

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R5 M230, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 780 MHz. The DDR3 memory works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular card. It features 320 SPUs along with 20 Texture Address Units and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 will be 719% faster than the Radeon R5 M230 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M230		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 115072 (719%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (more or less 433%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R5 M230. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M230		15600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 67560 (433%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (about 1423%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R5 M230, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M230		3120 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 44400 (1423%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
