GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which features core clock speeds of 1485 MHz on the GPU, and 2001 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be 52% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
	Difference: 45056 (52%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be much (about 24%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 16344 (24%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14112 (42%)

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
