GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB

Intro

The GeForce GTX 460 comes with a clock speed of 675 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also features a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, which features a clock frequency of 928 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1350 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 110 Watts
GeForce GTX 460 150 Watts
Difference: 40 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so theoretically they should have identical performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is a lot (about 57%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 37800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 21592 (57%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 460 is superior to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 16200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 14848 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1352 (9%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling 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 graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
