GeForce GTX 570 vs GeForce GTX 650

Intro

The GeForce GTX 570 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 732 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 950 MHz on this model. It features 480 SPUs along with 60 TAUs and 40 ROPs.

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 650, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1058 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1250 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

I do not get it. How come gtx570 is faster than gtx650? According to this page 570 has better clock speed but the specs says the otherwise. Confusing page.

Alex says:

gtx 650 is low end series of the 600 series.. the 570 is high end of 500 series.. the 600 does not mean superior over the 500 its just that as they make new cards they make new numbers .. get it now kiddo?
570 is sick card its based on gtx 580 just slightly slower.

Andy Chen says:

I think the 650 ti is better

Jacky Wu Is Ugly says:

I agree what you said Andy Chen the 650TI is better because it has TI

Patrick says:

euhhhh no 320 bit vs 128 bit

anthony festa says:

The gtx 650 is a bit newer and sometimes much more expensive but for older systems i would definitely take the 570 for certain games that i like but the 650 can be better at other things as they both have their advantages but i would save the money and run the 570s in sli :p

anthony festa says:

Yet again this card pulls so much juice from the psu that u need atleast a 550 watt psu to power it (1 if them) which is basically the same amount required for a gtx 680 which has 1000 cuda cores and much more to play with but the reason they are so cheap is mainly because noone wants them because they need a beefy psu to power something that small and weak compared to much bigger cards now cranking up almost 3x the gpu power than this while only using a very little amount more than these. A gtx 650 only uses 400 watts and i bet its still good for the amount of power it drains. Ik it gets much worse scores but u could get much better efficiency and spend less on a power supply and more on a better card. And the gtx 650 is a pcie 3.0 card unlike the 2.0 for the 570. And the 570 matches the performance of the 650 ti boost and the 750 ti which both are much more expensive but if u havent already gotten the psu u will have to spend more to get a psu that will be able to handle the 570 which might end up at the same price as either the 650ti boost or the 750 ti (if u can find a good deal on the 750ti sc go for it).

Im still getting a 570 tho just to play some of the lower end games on this old pc and keep it a small build since i already have a 600 watt psu ready to go.

Hope this helped anyone
