GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB

Intro

The GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 features a GPU core speed of 550 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory is set to run at 800 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 32 SPUs, 16 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, which comes with clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB should in theory be a little bit superior to the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 overall. (explain)

Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB 28800 MB/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 25600 MB/sec
Difference: 3200 (13%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB is much (more or less 77%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3. (explain)

Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB 15600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 8800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 6800 (77%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB is the winner, but only just. (explain)

Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB 5200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 4400 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 800 (18%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
