GeForce GTX 280 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

The GeForce GTX 280 has a GPU clock speed of 602 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM is set to run at 1107 MHz through a 512-bit bus. It also features 240 Stream Processors, 80 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which has GPU clock speed of 1020 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti 60 Watts
GeForce GTX 280 236 Watts
Difference: 176 Watts (293%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 280 should be 64% faster than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 280 141696 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti 86400 MB/sec
Difference: 55296 (64%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 280 should be a little bit (more or less 18%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 280 48160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti 40800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 7360 (18%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 280 is superior to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, though only just barely. (explain)

GeForce GTX 280 19264 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti 16320 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 2944 (18%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
