GeForce GTX 570 vs GeForce GTX 660 Ti
Intro
The GeForce GTX 570 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 732 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 950 MHz on this specific model. It features 480 SPUs as well as 60 TAUs and 40 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, which has a core clock speed of 915 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1344 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.

Guys, Im do 3D Rendering with CUDA GPGPU. I heard that GTX6** are bad for computing. I use mostly Blender Cycles or OctaneRender. I do play latest games too.How bad is the GTX660 vs GTX570. Please anyone. I have to buy either of the two
