Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one 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. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

Hi man! this pages is excelent!, but I have a daubt about texel rate and Pixel rate...
How do you calculate these values? The Official NVidia page has diferent values about them.
Thx!
this is the shittiest page ever
blindly copied numbers, no real comparison data
useless waste of bandwidth
diaf
satan's just mad he gave me a blowjob and i didn't return the favor.
Both satan and Jesus are mad cuz they aren't real.
Athiest doesn't beleive in being mad, or anything else for that matter, so he's just there, wasting space.
But can we really know for sure?
You cant ask someone to prove a negative, it doesnt work that way, for you to ask someone to prove something means you you have to prove it right first, otherwise your statement is botched.
Its really hard for anyone to disprove anything that hasnt been proven right yet, just as much as Id like you I cant prove that the easter bunny isnt real, or that the boggey man hiding in your closet isnt real.
All in all you cant ask someone "how do you know.. prove it" because the problem with that is that you havent proven your stance as correct yet, that means you cant ask someone to disprove you, when you have not proven to be correct in the first place.
Have a nice day,
lol. at comments. made my day.

Atheist ftw!!!!
Well the GTX 560 TI still costs around $220 while the HD 6850 is around $150. I personaly own a HD 6850 and I have no issues with it whatsoever and with the fact that it takes 43 less watts then the 560TI and costs $70 bucks cheaper I can afford to go crossfire with 2 HD 6850 for $300 bucks and 254 watts. Which would certaintly blow away the 560TI. If you went SLI with the 560 TI thats 340 watts and $440 bucks. it would most certanintly require you to buy a new psu 700 watts and up. Which I would say your safe around 550 watt psu with the hd 6850 in cf.
My own experience shows the Gigabyte HD 6850 Windforce has great overclocking potential, while operating at relatively low temps [centigrade](37 low load, 56 high load) throughout a typical session. I'm using Sapphire TRIXX (don't like, nor use, EVGA Precision X or CCC Overdrive) for my overclocking as it allows great control over: voltages, core & mem' clocks and also fan speeds. Last i looked, i had (stable):- Core: 835, Mem: 1110 & voltage at spec'. The GPU-Z readouts are:- Pixel Fill: 26.7GP/sec, Texture Fill: 40.1GT/sec, and Mem. Bandwidth: 142.1GB/sec. Now, on those figures alone, it puts the 6850 ahead on both Mem' bandwidth & Pixel Fill. That, and the fact the card is: (1) cheaper than the GTX-560Ti, (2) running at far lower TDP power consumption ($aving the owner $$$ in lower power bills), makes it a far better buying prospect overall than the GTX-560Ti. Granted they're both old/aging cards now, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why anyone choosing between these two cards might sway in favor of the Red Team (imho of course). 😉
UPDATE: After further voltage tweaking using Sapphire TRIXX, have the HD 6850 @ 1.231V. The overclocks sit at: core: 950, mem: 1175. At 950/1175, pixel fill: 30.4GP/s, Texture fill: 45.6GT/s, and Mem. Bandwidth: 150.4GB/sec .. i think on that type of huge o'cing headroom, the 6850 has to win, hands down.
I have the MSI AMD Radeon 6850 OC-Power-Edition and is very fast. Very good G-Card !!!
