GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB vs GeForce GTX Titan

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX Titan, which features a core clock speed of 837 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1502 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 2688 SPUs, 224 Texture Address Units, and 48 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		70 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 180 Watts (257%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX Titan should in theory be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		54400 MB/sec
	Difference: 233984 (430%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan should be a lot (more or less 965%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 169888 (965%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35776 (813%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at 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 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
