GeForce 9800 GTX+ vs GeForce GTX 1050 3GB

Intro

The GeForce 9800 GTX+ makes use of a 55 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 738 MHz. The GDDR3 memory is set to run at a speed of 1100 MHz on this card. It features 128 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB, which features a core clock speed of 1392 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also features a 96-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 48 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.

GeForce 9800 GTX+ 70400 MB/sec
Difference: 15616 (22%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB should be much (more or less 41%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 9800 GTX+. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB 66816 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 47232 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 19584 (41%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is superior to the GeForce 9800 GTX+, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB 33408 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 11808 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 21600 (183%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 calculated by multiplying the total number of 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
