Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650
IntroThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti has a core clock speed of 900 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1026 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 192 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 24 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 650, which features core speeds of 1058 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti should theoretically be a lot superior to the GeForce GTX 650 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 will be a small bit (more or less 18%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is superior to the GeForce GTX 650, by a large margin. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at 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 that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

10 Responses to “GeForce GTX 550 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650”I'm not sure about the increase of the performance from the GTX 550 Ti to GTX 650
even for me increase of performances between the 650 and 550ti are only in the Unified Shaders and the texel rate.
If you look at the following link http://www.geforce.com/Active/en_US/shared/images/products/shared/lineup.png just a little bit different. and even then only in synthetic benchmarks. not the real game.
Hi, what about video edition, which one is better to work for example in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6? or After Effects?
If you note, the power consumption of 650 is lower than the 550 ti, so you dont have to buy a great energy source!
gtx550ti has pci 2.0 and its 1gb its power consumation is higher .while gtx65 has 3.0 pci and its 2gb and power consumation is lower. if u really want to buy 192bits then it is better to buy 256bits.
550ti is better for me texel memorry and pixel rate Hannes
i play all games with high AF on my HD 6670 1gb ddr5, but i cant play new games on 1080p,only low to medium detail and off Anti Alaising, so beter card is the one that can play 1080p without lag, in this case gtx 550ti with bigger pixel rate
but gtx 650 can give good gaming performance than gtx 550ti
yes GTX 650 GDDR5 is 20% faster than GTX 550TI GTX 650 run with 64 W but GTX 550 ti need 116W so low power high performance
