GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which comes with GPU clock speed of 928 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 768 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		110 Watts
GeForce GTX 460		150 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti is much (about 57%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460		37800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21592 (57%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 460 is superior to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460		16200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1352 (9%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range 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 figure is worked out 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 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 that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
