GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 should be 125% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1650 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (125%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be a lot (more or less 112%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 92840 (112%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the GeForce GTX 1650, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 40480 (85%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
