GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 465

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti makes use of a 14 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1290 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 465, which has a clock frequency of 607 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 802 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 352 SPUs, 44 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on 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 potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
