VS

GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB

Intro

The GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) features core clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 970 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 128 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 928 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1350 MHz on this particular card. It features 768 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 110 Watts
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) 135 Watts
Difference: 25 Watts (23%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be 39% quicker than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 86400 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) 62080 MB/sec
Difference: 24320 (39%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is quite a bit (more or less 43%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92). (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) 41600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 17792 (43%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be much (about 43%) better at AA than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92), and able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 14848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) 10400 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4448 (43%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that 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 Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
