Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon RX 480 4GB		150 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 480 4GB should be 75% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1650 in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 480 4GB		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 98304 (75%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 480 4GB should be a lot (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 should be quite a bit (about 33%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 480 4GB, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
