Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
Radeon RX 6500 XT		107 Watts
	Difference: 32 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6500 XT should be 13% faster than the GeForce GTX 1650 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		147456 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (13%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT will be quite a bit (more or less 69%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		140800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 57640 (69%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is quite a bit (about 48%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1650, and will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		70400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22880 (48%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
