GeForce GTX 1650 vs Geforce GTX 670

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Geforce GTX 670, which has a clock speed of 915 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 1344 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Geforce GTX 670		170 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (127%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Geforce GTX 670 should in theory be a lot better than the GeForce GTX 1650 in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 670		192000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 60928 (46%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 670 should be quite a bit (about 23%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 19320 (23%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18240 (62%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
