GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs Radeon HD 6770 1GB

Intro

The GeForce GTX 550 Ti has core speeds of 900 MHz on the GPU, and 1026 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 24 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 6770 1GB, which comes with a core clock frequency of 900 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1050 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 800 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling 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 chip could 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 colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

Which of these two would you get?

The 550 generally outperforms This ATI card but it is a bit more expensive. The 550 is somewhere in between the 6770 and the 6850.. If you have a little extra cash to fork out. I would suggest getting a ATI HD 6850 Radeon. But as of this comparison with the 6770. Gtx 550 Ti is most definitely the winner.

People looking for a Graphics card. Should already have gotten a decent power supply(PSU) first. Power consumption should not be an issue.

Bob says:

hey admin I think that your specs on the 6770 are differing from the 6770s we know today, and changing them would ensure a fair comparison 🙂 btw good job on the website

Jeremy says:

the benchmark that you are showing is wrong, the 560 is at 33fps not the 550, the 550 is at 22, the 6770 is at 19 from toms hardware(these are from the specific cards i was looking at) http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2011-gaming-graphics-charts/compare,2661.html?prod%5B4973%5D=on&prod%5B5248%5D=on

admin says:

Indeed you are correct. No idea how that happened, seems all the numbers in that entire benchmark got screwed up. I've deleted the whole benchmark and will redo later.
