A point that’s located at 50.5px will move it to 51.5px if nudged while pixel snapping is enabled. And by one pixel, I’m talking about one pixel, relative to the current position. With pixel snapping turned on, nudging always moves one pixel. …and so on, all the way up to 3200%, which nudges 0.03125px.
