GeForce 9800 GTX+ vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB

Intro

The GeForce 9800 GTX+ makes use of a 55 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 738 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 1100 MHz on this card. It features 128 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, which features GPU clock speed of 928 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 768 Stream Processors, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce 9800 GTX+ 70400 MB/sec
Difference: 16000 (23%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be much (more or less 26%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9800 GTX+. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 47232 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 12160 (26%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is superior to the GeForce 9800 GTX+, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 14848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 11808 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 3040 (26%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
