Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 has a GPU clock speed of 675 MHz, and the 768 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 336 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which has clock speeds of 900 MHz on the GPU, and 1026 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 192 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti should theoretically be a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 460 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 is a lot (about 31%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is superior to the GeForce GTX 460, 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

11 Responses to “GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti”It seems that the 550 Ti uses a third less power and beats the 460 2 out of 3 catagories. Less cores but greater performance, 550 Ti is the winner.
Nope your wrong GTX 460 is more powerfull
Nope, you're both wrong. Intel HD is the king.
This comparison is done with the weaker 768mb GTX 460...
Not the standard one with 1024mb 256bit memory at 115200 MB/sec.
jajaja intel hd
Intel HD FTW! HAHAHAHA!
Intel HD is the absolute pinnacle of performance. Definitely Intel HD for the win.
Intel hd? Kkkkk... 550Ti win! In this comparation (: but..
I only wish I could afford something with Intel HD, It's some top of the line stuff.
Intel HD is effective but not as much as GTX 550 ti It has only one thing less which is Texel rate & due to less power cosumption it wins...
Lol intel HD.... That's so funny
