GeForce GT 230 vs GeForce GTX 1650

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 1650, which has core speeds of 1485 MHz on the GPU, and 2001 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 230		65 Watts
GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
	Difference: 10 Watts (15%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1650 should in theory be a lot faster than the GeForce GT 230 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GT 230		38400 MB/sec
	Difference: 92672 (241%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be a lot (approximately 845%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 230. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 230		8800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 74360 (845%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the GeForce GT 230, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 230		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 43120 (980%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
