Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GTX vs GeForce GTX 650
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GTX has core clock speeds of 575 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 768 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 128 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 24 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 650, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1058 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1250 MHz on this specific model. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce 8800 GTX should be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 650 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 8800 GTX is just a bit (about 9%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 650. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 is much (approximately 23%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GTX, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

One Response to “GeForce 8800 GTX vs GeForce GTX 650”Wish I would've found this site sooner than later... Already bought a 650 to replace my 8800. Back to the store!
