GeForce GT 430 vs GeForce GTX Titan

Intro

The GeForce GT 430 comes with a clock frequency of 700 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 96 SPUs, 16 TAUs, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX Titan, which has clock speeds of 837 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2688 SPUs along with 224 TAUs and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 430 60 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan 250 Watts
Difference: 190 Watts (317%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX Titan should be 901% quicker than the GeForce GT 430 overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan 288384 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430 28800 MB/sec
Difference: 259584 (901%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan is quite a bit (approximately 1574%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan 187488 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 11200 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 176288 (1574%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution 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 430 2800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 37376 (1335%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
