GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce GTX 470

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 470, which makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 607 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 837 MHz on this model. It features 448 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 40 ROPs.

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (approximately 145%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 470. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 470		33992 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 49168 (145%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a lot (more or less 96%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 470, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 470		24280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23240 (96%)

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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
