GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon HD 4870 X2

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1650 uses 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 as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 4870 X2, which makes use of a 55 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 750 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular model. It features 800(160x5) SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a lot (approximately 39%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 4870 X2. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650 83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4870 X2 60000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 23160 (39%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (approximately 98%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon HD 4870 X2, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650 47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4870 X2 24000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 23520 (98%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at 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 record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
