GeForce 9800 GT 1GB vs GeForce GTS 450 1GB

Intro

The GeForce 9800 GT 1GB comes with a clock frequency of 600 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 65/55 nm design. It is comprised of 112 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTS 450 1GB, which makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 783 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 902 MHz on this specific model. It features 192 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 105 Watts
GeForce GTS 450 1GB 106 Watts
Difference: 1 Watts (1%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTS 450 1GB should be 0% quicker than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTS 450 1GB 57728 MB/sec
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 57600 MB/sec
Difference: 128 (0%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 9800 GT 1GB is much (more or less 34%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTS 450 1GB. (explain)

GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 33600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTS 450 1GB 25056 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 8544 (34%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTS 450 1GB is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTS 450 1GB 12528 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 9600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 2928 (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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output 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 max fill rate.

í think 450gts is butter than 98gt

I think both card are the same,

I've got them both but the 9800gt works better with bf4 framerate between 30 35 f/s

the gts450 has a frame rate 16 till 25 f/s. tested this yesterday. with the gts450 it was stuttering as hell, this i don't have with the 9800gt.
