GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 7900 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which features a core clock speed of 1500 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2500 MHz. It also uses a 320-bit bus, and uses a 5 nm design. It is made up of 5376 SPUs, 336 TAUs, and 192 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon RX 7900 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 225 Watts (300%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 7900 XT, in theory, should be much faster than the GeForce GTX 1650 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		819200 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 688128 (525%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XT should be much (more or less 506%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		504000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 420840 (506%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 7900 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 1650, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		288000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 240480 (506%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
