GeForce GTX 280 vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Intro
The GeForce GTX 280 features a clock speed of 602 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 1107 MHz. It also uses a 512-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 65 nm design. It is comprised of 240 SPUs, 80 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which has GPU clock speed of 822 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1002 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its 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 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 of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.

3 Responses to “GeForce GTX 280 vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti”usted cual recomienda, para trabajar con adobe premier cs5, tengo esa duda, quiero comprar unatarjeta que me de resultavos positivos para mi trabajo, si la 280 tiene mayor cantidad de bus pero la 560ti tiene mayor cantidad de ddr5.
gracias por su aporte
Te recomiendo la GTX 560 Ti. porque? porque tiene tecnología mas nueva y es mas rápida en los programas que nombras.
MUCHAS GRACIAS... POR SU PRONTA RESPUESTA
