GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 750

Intro

The GeForce GTX 550 Ti uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1026 MHz on this model. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 750, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1020 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this card. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 750 80000 MB/sec
Difference: 18496 (23%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 should be a small bit (about 13%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 32640 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 550 Ti 28800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 3840 (13%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 550 Ti 21600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 16320 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 5280 (32%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

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

Tom says:

A perfect example of when a comparison done automatically by the numbers on a site such as this is useless, and worse, wrong. The 750, with it's Maxwell core, is a much faster card.

Tom says:

And I have both cards, and can attest to the 750 being faster than the 550ti.

Martin says:

Hey. Can i ask to you something?? is really 750 better than 550ti??? can i trust to this server or not??? 🙂

And can you tell me, can i streaming LoL with good quality and playing BF3 with good quality with 750 card?? 🙂 Thanks man 🙂
