GeForce GT 230 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which has core speeds of 1485 MHz on the GPU, and 2001 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 230		65 Watts
GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
	Difference: 10 Watts (15%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1650 will be 241% faster than the GeForce GT 230 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GT 230		38400 MB/sec
	Difference: 92672 (241%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (approximately 845%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 230. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 230		8800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 74360 (845%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the GeForce GT 230, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 230		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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 can be applied per 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 video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
