GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 928 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1350 MHz on this specific model. It features 768 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 57600 (200%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti is quite a bit (about 430%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48192 (430%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti is superior to the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12048 (430%)

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 is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. 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 is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
