	Difference: 98304 (75%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 480 4GB will be much (about 94%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon RX 480 4GB		161280 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 78120 (94%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a lot (more or less 33%) more effective at AA than the Radeon RX 480 4GB, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 480 4GB		35840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11680 (33%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
