About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2010 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF104) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 460 has 768 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 86.4 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 460 includes 336 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 675 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 460 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 160 W.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2011 with a MSRP of $149. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF116) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 550 Ti has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,026 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 98.5 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 550 Ti includes 192 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 900 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 550 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 116 W.
