GeForce GT 310 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 1650, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1485 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 2001 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 310		31 Watts
GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
	Difference: 44 Watts (142%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1650 will be 719% faster than the GeForce GT 310 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GT 310		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 115072 (719%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be quite a bit (about 1665%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 310. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 310		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 78448 (1665%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 310		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45164 (1917%)

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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

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