Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650
IntroThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti has clock speeds of 900 MHz on the GPU, and 1026 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 24 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 650, which comes with clock speeds of 1058 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 650 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 should be a small bit (more or less 18%) better at anisotropic 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 a better choice, by far. (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 transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must 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, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

10 Responses to “GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650”I'm not sure about the increase of the performance from the GTX 550 Ti to GTX 650
even for me increase of performances between the 650 and 550ti are only in the Unified Shaders and the texel rate.
If you look at the following link http://www.geforce.com/Active/en_US/shared/images/products/shared/lineup.png just a little bit different. and even then only in synthetic benchmarks. not the real game.
Hi, what about video edition, which one is better to work for example in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6? or After Effects?
If you note, the power consumption of 650 is lower than the 550 ti, so you dont have to buy a great energy source!
gtx550ti has pci 2.0 and its 1gb its power consumation is higher .while gtx65 has 3.0 pci and its 2gb and power consumation is lower. if u really want to buy 192bits then it is better to buy 256bits.
550ti is better for me texel memorry and pixel rate Hannes
i play all games with high AF on my HD 6670 1gb ddr5, but i cant play new games on 1080p,only low to medium detail and off Anti Alaising, so beter card is the one that can play 1080p without lag, in this case gtx 550ti with bigger pixel rate
but gtx 650 can give good gaming performance than gtx 550ti
yes GTX 650 GDDR5 is 20% faster than GTX 550TI GTX 650 run with 64 W but GTX 550 ti need 116W so low power high performance
