GeForce GTX 650 vs Radeon HD 6750 1GB

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6750 1GB, which features a clock frequency of 725 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 720 SPUs, 36 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650		64 Watts
Radeon HD 6750 1GB		86 Watts
	Difference: 22 Watts (34%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 650 should be 25% faster than the Radeon HD 6750 1GB in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650		80000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 6750 1GB		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16000 (25%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 is quite a bit (more or less 30%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 6750 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650		33856 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 6750 1GB		26100 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7756 (30%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650		16928 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 6750 1GB		11600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5328 (46%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
