Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 970M overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 970M		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 35072 (37%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a small bit (about 13%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 970M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 970M		73920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 9240 (13%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be a little bit (about 7%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 970M, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 970M		44352 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3168 (7%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
