In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gainward 1GB Edition are significantly better than the AMD Radeon R7 250E Club3D Low Profile 1GB Edition.

The GTX 650 Ti has a 128 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the R7 250E. This results in the GTX 650 Ti providing 33.8 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GTX 650 Ti has a 128 MHz higher core clock speed than the R7 250E and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 650 Ti providing 2 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The R7 250E was released over a year more recently than the GTX 650 Ti, and so the R7 250E is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 650 Ti.

The Radeon R7 250E Club3D Low Profile 1GB Edition and the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gainward 1GB Edition have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The GTX 650 Ti has 14.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the R7 250E, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 650 Ti is slightly better than the R7 250E.

The Radeon R7 250E Club3D Low Profile 1GB Edition has 512 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gainward 1GB Edition has 768. However, the actual shader performance of the R7 250E is 348 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 650 Ti is 713. The GTX 650 Ti having 365 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 650 Ti delivers a noticeably smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the R7 250E.

The Radeon R7 250E Club3D Low Profile 1GB Edition requires 61 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gainward 1GB Edition. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the R7 250E.
