GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 48128 (37%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be quite a bit (approximately 33%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 20760 (33%)

Pixel Rate

If running with 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 R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16320 (52%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
