GeForce GT 430 1GB vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1485 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 2001 MHz on this specific card. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GT 430 1GB		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 102272 (355%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a lot (more or less 643%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 71960 (643%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is much (about 1597%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 430 1GB, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 44720 (1597%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
