GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce GTX 460

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 460, which comes with a core clock frequency of 675 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 460		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 44672 (52%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be much (approximately 120%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460		37800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 45360 (120%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the GeForce GTX 460, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 460		16200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 31320 (193%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
