Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 is quite a bit (about 300%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9600 GT 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9600 GT 1GB		20800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 62360 (300%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is superior to the GeForce 9600 GT 1GB, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9600 GT 1GB		10400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37120 (357%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
