GeForce GT 340 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1485 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 2001 MHz on this model. It features 896 SPUs as well as 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

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

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (more or less 373%) faster with regards to 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 a high resolution 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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
