GeForce GT 320 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 1650, which features a core clock frequency of 1485 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 2001 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It is comprised of 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 320		43 Watts
GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
	Difference: 32 Watts (74%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 1650 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GT 320 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GT 320		25280 MB/sec
	Difference: 105792 (418%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be quite a bit (more or less 542%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 320. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 320		12960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 70200 (542%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 320		4320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 43200 (1000%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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.
