GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon R7 250X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB comes with a core clock frequency of 928 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1350 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 768 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Radeon R7 250X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

In theory, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is 20% quicker than the Radeon R7 250X in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 86400 MB/sec
Radeon R7 250X 72000 MB/sec
Difference: 14400 (20%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be a lot (approximately 48%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 250X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 250X 40000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 19392 (48%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 250X is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

Radeon R7 250X 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
