GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which has GPU core speed of 1090 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 2GB overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 19072 (17%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be much (about 36%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 460 2GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22120 (36%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30080 (172%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
