Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
GeForce GTS 250 1GB		145 Watts
	Difference: 70 Watts (93%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1650 is 86% quicker than the GeForce GTS 250 1GB in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTS 250 1GB		70400 MB/sec
	Difference: 60672 (86%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is a lot (more or less 76%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTS 250 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTS 250 1GB		47232 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 35928 (76%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (about 302%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTS 250 1GB, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTS 250 1GB		11808 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35712 (302%)

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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs 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 output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
