Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650 75 Watts
GeForce GTX 960 120 Watts
Difference: 45 Watts (60%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be 17% faster than the GeForce GTX 960 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650 131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 960 112000 MB/sec
Difference: 19072 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a little bit (about 15%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 960. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650 83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 960 72128 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 11032 (15%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650 47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 960 36064 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 11456 (32%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video 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 amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
