Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs GeForce GTX 285 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB comes with a clock frequency of 648 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 1242 MHz. It also makes use of a 512-bit bus, and makes use of a 55 nm design. It is made up of 240 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 285 2GB, which uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 648 MHz. The GDDR3 memory is set to run at a speed of 1242 MHz on this card. It features 240 SPUs as well as 80 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform exactly the same. (explain)
Texel RateBoth cards have the exact same texel fill rate, so in theory they should be equally good at at AF. (explain)Pixel RateBoth cards have the exact same pixel fill rate, so in theory they should perform equally good at at FSAA, and be capable of handling the same screen resolutions. (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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once 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 anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

2 Responses to “GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs GeForce GTX 285 2GB”thin compare result shoes that shit on your site because one gig more of memory nowhere does have effect
1GB of memory to 2gb of memory has a massive effect.
2GB to 3GB has little effect unless you're playing above 1080p, but is good for certain games.
And 3gb to 4gb doesn't matter at all at 1080p, makes a large difference at 2160p(4k)
