GeForce GTX 465 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which comes with a clock frequency of 1020 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1350 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		60 Watts
GeForce GTX 465		200 Watts
	Difference: 140 Watts (233%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 465 should in theory be a small bit better than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 465		102592 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 16192 (19%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti should be quite a bit (about 53%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 465. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		26708 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 14092 (53%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 465 is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX 465		19424 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3104 (19%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If 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, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number 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 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 can possibly write to its 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 clock speed of the card. 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 fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
