GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which comes with GPU clock speed of 2055 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 2190 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 2048 Stream Processors, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT will be a lot (more or less 216%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1650. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 179880 (216%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 1650, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 84000 (177%)

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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one 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 - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel 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 max fill rate.
