GeForce GTX 465 vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which comes with GPU core speed of 928 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 768 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		110 Watts
GeForce GTX 465		200 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (82%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 465 is 19% faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 465		102592 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 16192 (19%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti is much (about 122%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 465. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		26708 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32684 (122%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 465 is quite a bit (about 31%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 465		19424 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 4576 (31%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
