Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660
IntroThe GeForce GTX 650 comes with a GPU core speed of 1058 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1250 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 660, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 980 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1502 MHz on this particular model. It features 960 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 660 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 650 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 660 will be quite a bit (about 132%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 650. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 660 is superior to the GeForce GTX 650, by a large margin. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the 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 core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.

I have conflicting emotions about whether this is a good comparison of GeForce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660
This is/isn't a good comparison of GeForce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660 at same time!
This is a mildy awesome comparison of Geforce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660
This comparison of Geforce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660 has potential but must try harder
This comparison of Geforce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660 is a comparison.
Och du Jockel sach bloss -.-
This comparison of Geforce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660 is worth a nutsack.
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite comparison of Geforce GTX 650 vs GeForce GTX 660 on the Citadel.
Vhat das da fox say ? 660 dingoring
A good comparison of GeForce GTX 650 vs Geforce GTX 660 or not, this is.
This is a comparison.
I wonder about the performance of the 650SC vs 660...
This comparison could be compared with other comparisons, including comparisons of the GTX 650 and 660.
Take it from someone who upgraded from a 9800gt to a GTX650 to a GTX660. The first upgrade was a slight improvement (rather disappointing in fact). But the jump from the 650 to the 660 was huge! Hello 1080 gaming!
