GeForce GTX 275 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Intro

The GeForce GTX 275 comes with core clock speeds of 633 MHz on the GPU, and 1134 MHz on the 896 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 240 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 28 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which features a core clock frequency of 900 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1026 MHz. It also features a 192-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 192 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 550 Ti 116 Watts
GeForce GTX 275 219 Watts
Difference: 103 Watts (89%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 275, in theory, should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275 127008 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 550 Ti 98496 MB/sec
Difference: 28512 (29%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 275 should be quite a bit (more or less 76%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275 50640 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 550 Ti 28800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 21840 (76%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 550 Ti 21600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 275 17724 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 3876 (22%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
