Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		110 Watts
Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5500 should be 165% faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 142976 (165%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 will be quite a bit (more or less 147%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 87568 (147%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38592 (260%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
