GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs GeForce GTX 660

Intro

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 928 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1350 MHz on this specific card. It features 768 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 660, which features GPU clock speed of 980 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1502 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 960 Stream Processors, 80 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 86400 MB/sec
Difference: 57792 (67%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 660 will be much (about 32%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 78400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 59392 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 19008 (32%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 660 is superior to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 23520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 14848 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 8672 (58%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high 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 clock speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

what is the different between the two graphic cards? i dont know. and im going to buy the GTX 650 TI 2 GB and my friend got the other card. So i just wanna know what is best, and why?! 😀

YO! says:

The gtx-660 is better in general so i think there is no need for an thorough explaination.

robert says:

why you havent gtx650 ti boost? its not too much weaker that gtx 660 and a littre cheaper for sure its better that 650 ti and can be used in sli

Izzy Rallins says:

As of 12/23/ there are no 660ti's in the price range of the 760's. You can get a 660 FTW at newegg for $239.99 but the 760 is the same exact price.

nVidia is doing just like Intel and reaming us with prices. I got a gtx 260 in 2010 for $180 and despite all that time I have to shell out $200 for a faster card. Any card like the GTX 650 that is less than $200 is SLOWER than the card I bought 4 years ago.

And it doesn't matter.... 660ti... 760... you aren't really going to find a "deal" on any of them. You'd think after a new line of cards they would go down in price!!!!!

Izzy Rallins says:

DO NOT buy the 650 get the 660 or 760 is my point really. The 650 (Or ANY card under $180) will be SLOWER than the previous generations of cards (ie 260 460, etc)

Bend over and let your wallet get fucked.

You;d think after all this time I could get a card that outperforms the 260 for less than $150.....

Would you please add the GTX 650 TI Boost?
