GeForce GT 340 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which has a clock speed of 1485 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 2001 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It is comprised of 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 340		69 Watts
GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
	Difference: 6 Watts (9%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 340 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GT 340		54400 MB/sec
	Difference: 76672 (141%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be quite a bit (approximately 373%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 340. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 340		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65560 (373%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 340		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 43120 (980%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
