GeForce GT 430 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 1650, which has GPU core speed of 1485 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 2001 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (about 643%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 430. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430		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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 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 higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
