GeForce GTX 460 1GB vs GeForce GTX 650

Intro

The GeForce GTX 460 1GB has a GPU core clock speed of 675 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 900 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 336 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 650, which comes with core clock speeds of 1058 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 384 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 650 64 Watts
GeForce GTX 460 1GB 160 Watts
Difference: 96 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 460 1GB is 44% faster than the GeForce GTX 650 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 1GB 115200 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 80000 MB/sec
Difference: 35200 (44%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 460 1GB is a bit (approximately 12%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 650. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 1GB 37800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 33856 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 3944 (12%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 460 1GB will be quite a bit (more or less 28%) better at AA than the GeForce GTX 650, and able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 1GB 21600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 16928 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4672 (28%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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 bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
