GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be quite a bit (approximately 54%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 29000 (54%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is the winner, but only just. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 4192 (10%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must 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, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
