GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce GTX 285 1GB

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 285 1GB, which uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 648 MHz. The GDDR3 memory works at a frequency of 1242 MHz on this particular card. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 27904 (21%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (approximately 60%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 285 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 285 1GB		51840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 31320 (60%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 285 1GB		20736 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26784 (129%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
