Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 675 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular model. It features 336 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1026 MHz on this specific model. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti should in theory be a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 460 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 is a lot (about 31%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum 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
