GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon R9 M395X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M395X, which has a GPU core clock speed of 723 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1250 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon R9 M395X		125 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon R9 M395X should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1650 in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M395X		160000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 28928 (22%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M395X is a small bit (more or less 11%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon R9 M395X		92544 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 9384 (11%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (about 105%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 M395X, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M395X		23136 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 24384 (105%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
