GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs Radeon HD 7850
Intro
The GeForce GTX 650 Ti has a clock frequency of 928 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1350 MHz. It also features a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 768 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 7850, which features core speeds of 860 MHz on the GPU, and 1200 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends 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.

Comments
One Response to “GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs Radeon HD 7850”I would like to see Game bench results. The 650Ti is one of those cards that is overlooked. Many do not realize just how good a card it is. I had a 5870 in my i5 that the fan went out on. When I purchased the 650Ti (91$ Bucks)I thought it would be a little less or the same in performance as the 5870. But it does so much better than the 5870 on my i5. I would say it will beat the 7850 too.
