Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650
IntroThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1026 MHz on this specific card. It features 192 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 650, which features GPU core speed of 1058 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1250 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 384 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti should in theory be much superior to the GeForce GTX 650 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 is a bit (more or less 18%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti is a lot (more or less 28%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 650, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, 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, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total 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 applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach 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
