Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon HD 7950 3GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 570 comes with a GPU core speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 950 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also features 480 SPUs, 60 Texture Address Units, and 40 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon HD 7950 3GB, which comes with a core clock frequency of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon HD 7950 3GB should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 570 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 7950 3GB will be a lot (more or less 104%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 570 is superior to the Radeon HD 7950 3GB, though only just barely. (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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics 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 colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

2 Responses to “GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon HD 7950 3GB”I can only say for this case its best to get the 570 if you want to say cash.
But if you have the means I rather go for the 7970. Not very advisable in my books to get the 7950 at the price its being offered for what it can do.
i have a 7950 Asus i had the 570 but will never look back the 7950 kicks the 570
