Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 480 vs GeForce GTX 780 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 480 uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 700 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 924 MHz on this specific card. It features 480 SPUs along with 60 TAUs and 48 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 875 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2880 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 48 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti should be 89% quicker than the GeForce GTX 480 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti is much (approximately 400%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 480. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti will be a lot (approximately 25%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 480, and able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure 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 in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

3 Responses to “GeForce GTX 480 vs GeForce GTX 780 Ti”The 480 GTX have a 320-bit memory bandwidth not 384bit fix this.
All there is correctly written! Do not mislead people if you not knowing!
Josh is wrong. 384-bit is correct same as 780 ti.
GTX 480 is still a very strong card for being 4 years old now. still running hydro coppers in 4 way SLI, still super fast.
