GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 560, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		110 Watts
	Difference: 30 Watts (38%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 560 should in theory be much better than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 28288 (33%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 should be quite a bit (about 27%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15808 (27%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 will be quite a bit (more or less 27%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3952 (27%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be applied in one second. This 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 video 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 that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
