VS

GeForce GTX 295 vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Intro

The GeForce GTX 295 comes with core speeds of 576 MHz on the GPU, and 999 MHz on the 896 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 28 ROPs.

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 110 Watts
GeForce GTX 295 289 Watts
Difference: 179 Watts (163%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 295 will be 159% quicker than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 295 223776 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 86400 MB/sec
Difference: 137376 (159%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 295 should be a lot (more or less 55%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 295 92160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 59392 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 32768 (55%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 295 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 295 32256 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 14848 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 17408 (117%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface 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 ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
