Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

24 Responses to “GeForce GTX 480 vs GeForce GTX 570”I cannot understand which is better.
But it seems that 570 is lagging behind 480
......... xD
570 is better, new, more fresh, low consumption, ...
GTX-570 faster
GTX-570 Better
GTX-570 more cool
480 is faster and 150 dollars less...
Sorry but my Vodoo 1 card is better than the 570 and 480 combined!
Higher resolutions with high levels of AA = 480 is slightly superior due to greater memory, also better @ overclocking.
570 is Cooler, quieter, has less power draw and in 'normal' resolutions (1050 / 1080 / 1200p) with lower levels of AA will pull ahead slightly.
i have both and the 570 is way more powerfull and better in all the ways ......
Clock for clock speeds GTX 480 will be the winener in very game/benchmark due to its memory bandwith and more VRAM (especially in high resolutions 1080p and above) also its capabilities of handling AA without loosing so much performance, personnaly I prefer GTX 480 to GTX 570 because, in fact, the architecture of this later is not new as many think, it's a refunded Fermi with low consumption (- 31 Watt less), this not a reason to go for !!!
I have a gtx 570 and its an awesome card. I haven't used gtx 480 but according to nVidia website, 570 is better than 480 performance wise.
[...] when i was about to buy the gtx 570 i saw this GeForce GTX 480 vs GeForce GTX 570 – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare By that it says the gtx 480 is better than the gtx 570.How is this [...]
GTX 570 is awesome.. 10fingersup
GTX 480 on sale for $209 with promo code is a no brainer vs. the 570 @ $350
I have been looking into GTX 570 series to buy one for few months. Today, I found about the GTX 480 on newegg for $210 and almost changed my mind. But when I compared both on different websites, I realized the 570 is the one. There is one among 570 Series that 480 can't bit; EVGA 570 Classified with 822MH GPU vs normal 732MHz for 570 and 700 for 480. You have a 9% discount with $10 rebate also until 3/15/2012 570 classified is closer to 580. It also has DisplayPort.
I should also add to my comment above that: nVidia has pulled out the GTX 470 out of their product's page. There should be a reason for that. There is also a reason why newegg is offering total of $90 off the price for it. A good great popular product never goes that much lower the standard price.
sorry I meant GTX 480 not 470.
I own both of them and through my experience they are both very good cards. The GTX 570 IS faster, but that is barely noticeable. The GTX 480 has dropped significantly since I bought it, and is a great card. For the prices compared, the GTX 480 wins by far, as it is about 230 Dollars compared to the GTX 570 for 300-350 dollars, the winner is the GTX 480 By far
Where i can read infomaiton about 6740m and compare it with other Gpu ?
For Gamers....GTX 570 is better.
But for those who work in 3D, GTX 480 is far better....
GTX 480 has gt more and faster memory and same amount of cores, thats why better for simulation and rendering.
the 480 wins. Clock for Clock. You cant compare a oc'd 570 to a non oc'd 480 and call it fair. That makes no sense whatsoever
Help in deciding 570 vs 480 255 msi version vs 210 for 480. This is my first build and i'm not a big gamer i use to play on my PS3 until now. I can get 570 msi version and then get another one in a year or so which i expect the price will drop as well. thanks
