GeForce GT 430 1GB vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1485 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 2001 MHz on this particular model. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 1650 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GT 430 1GB in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 102272 (355%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be much (about 643%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 71960 (643%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 1GB		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 44720 (1597%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
