GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce GTX 560

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 560, which comes with a clock frequency of 810 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1001 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 560		150 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 560 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560		128128 MB/sec
	Difference: 2944 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a lot (more or less 83%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		45360 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 37800 (83%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the GeForce GTX 560, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		25920 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 21600 (83%)

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. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
