GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce GTX 460 SE

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 460 SE, which features a clock speed of 650 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 850 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 288 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 460 SE		108800 MB/sec
	Difference: 22272 (20%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be much (approximately 167%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 460 SE. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 SE		31200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 51960 (167%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the GeForce GTX 460 SE, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 SE		20800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26720 (128%)

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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 can be processed in one second. This is worked out 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
