GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1968 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon RX 6600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (113%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 6600 XT should in theory be a lot superior to the GeForce GTX 1650 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		262144 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 131072 (100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 203%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 168744 (203%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT is much (more or less 165%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1650, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 78432 (165%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
