Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650
IntroThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti comes with a GPU clock speed of 900 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1026 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 192 Stream Processors, 32 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 650, which has a core clock frequency of 1058 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also features a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 384 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 650 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 should be just a bit (more or less 18%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti will be a lot (about 28%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 650, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

10 Responses to “GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650”I'm not sure about the increase of the performance from the GTX 550 Ti to GTX 650
even for me increase of performances between the 650 and 550ti are only in the Unified Shaders and the texel rate.
If you look at the following link http://www.geforce.com/Active/en_US/shared/images/products/shared/lineup.png just a little bit different. and even then only in synthetic benchmarks. not the real game.
Hi, what about video edition, which one is better to work for example in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6? or After Effects?
If you note, the power consumption of 650 is lower than the 550 ti, so you dont have to buy a great energy source!
gtx550ti has pci 2.0 and its 1gb its power consumation is higher .while gtx65 has 3.0 pci and its 2gb and power consumation is lower. if u really want to buy 192bits then it is better to buy 256bits.
550ti is better for me texel memorry and pixel rate Hannes
i play all games with high AF on my HD 6670 1gb ddr5, but i cant play new games on 1080p,only low to medium detail and off Anti Alaising, so beter card is the one that can play 1080p without lag, in this case gtx 550ti with bigger pixel rate
but gtx 650 can give good gaming performance than gtx 550ti
yes GTX 650 GDDR5 is 20% faster than GTX 550TI GTX 650 run with 64 W but GTX 550 ti need 116W so low power high performance
