GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon HD 7790

Intro

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB features clock speeds of 928 MHz on the GPU, and 1350 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 768 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 7790, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1000 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1500 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon HD 7790 85 Watts
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 110 Watts
Difference: 25 Watts (29%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 7790 should in theory be just a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB overall. (explain)

Radeon HD 7790 96000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 86400 MB/sec
Difference: 9600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be a bit (more or less 6%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 7790. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 7790 56000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 3392 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon HD 7790 is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

Radeon HD 7790 16000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 14848 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1152 (8%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
