Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 comes with core speeds of 675 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 768 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 336 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 24 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1026 MHz on this particular card. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 24 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti should perform a small bit faster than the GeForce GTX 460 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 is a lot (about 31%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is superior to the GeForce GTX 460, by a large margin. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR 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 number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its 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 speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.

11 Responses to “GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti”It seems that the 550 Ti uses a third less power and beats the 460 2 out of 3 catagories. Less cores but greater performance, 550 Ti is the winner.
Nope your wrong GTX 460 is more powerfull
Nope, you're both wrong. Intel HD is the king.
This comparison is done with the weaker 768mb GTX 460...
Not the standard one with 1024mb 256bit memory at 115200 MB/sec.
jajaja intel hd
Intel HD FTW! HAHAHAHA!
Intel HD is the absolute pinnacle of performance. Definitely Intel HD for the win.
Intel hd? Kkkkk... 550Ti win! In this comparation (: but..
I only wish I could afford something with Intel HD, It's some top of the line stuff.
Intel HD is effective but not as much as GTX 550 ti It has only one thing less which is Texel rate & due to less power cosumption it wins...
Lol intel HD.... That's so funny
