GeForce GTX 260 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Intro
The GeForce GTX 260 uses a 65 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 576 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM works at a speed of 999 MHz on this model. It features 192 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 28 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which features clock speeds of 1020 MHz on the GPU, and 1350 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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 reach the maximum fill rate.

2 Responses to “GeForce GTX 260 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti”I dont think this is an accurate comparison. For one the 750Ti outside of its 128 memory bus is supposed to be on par with the GTX 480. this statement ahs ben made by several review sites that tested the 750 Ti. so if its on par with the 480 then why does this test show it being barely stronger than a gtx 260 vanilla?
That is because this isn't a test but merely a theoretical comparison based on specifications of each cards. All they are doing is crunching the numbers to see what theoretical performance should be. It is not 100% accurate to real world performance, and accuracy is worse the bigger the time gap in the comparison (eg - this is a 6 year gap).
As the site says, "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."
