GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon HD 7850

Intro

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 features a GPU core speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 900 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also features 448 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 40 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 7850, which comes with core clock speeds of 860 MHz on the GPU, and 1200 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

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. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.

Zotac GTX 560 TI 448 or GIGABYTE HD7850 - Hardware Canucks says:

[...] Definitely the HD 7850 ( OC'd to 975mhz) would be a better choice because it has the new 28nm architecture, powerfull (compared to GTX560 TI) n stuff ( 2GB RAM and consumes less power ) Check this site out for more performance comparisons...
