Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9800 GTX+ vs Radeon HD 5770
IntroThe GeForce 9800 GTX+ has core clock speeds of 738 MHz on the GPU, and 1100 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 128 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 5770, which has core clock speeds of 850 MHz on the GPU, and 1200 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 800(160x5) SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 5770 should in theory perform just a bit faster than the GeForce 9800 GTX+ in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 9800 GTX+ is quite a bit (about 39%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5770. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 5770 should be just a bit (about 15%) better at AA than the GeForce 9800 GTX+, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's 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 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

2 Responses to “GeForce 9800 GTX+ vs Radeon HD 5770”[...] twice as good. It performs smilarly (5% better overall) than a 5770, which is about overall about 15% better than a 9800GTX. The 550 is a pretty low end card, better yes, twice as good - definitely no. [...]
Actually according to Textural rate the 9800GTX+ beats the 5770. If the 2 cards were tested at lower resolution like 1280x1024 the 9800 GTX+ would take it in fps in almost all games above. And if you have a 17inch monitor thats the highest res you can go anyway.
