Radeon RX 6500 XT		107 Watts
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		110 Watts
	Difference: 3 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6500 XT should be 71% faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		147456 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 61056 (71%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT should be a lot (more or less 137%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		140800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 81408 (137%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		70400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55552 (374%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
