GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon R5 M230

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R5 M230, which has GPU core speed of 780 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 memory running at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 320 SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.

Radeon R5 M230		15600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 67560 (433%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (more or less 1423%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R5 M230, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M230		3120 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 44400 (1423%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result 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 anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
