The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (more or less 470%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 240		14600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 68560 (470%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (about 714%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R7 240, and should be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 240		5840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 41680 (714%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
