GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs GeForce GTX Titan

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX Titan should be 901% faster than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM) in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan should be a lot (more or less 1574%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan should be quite a bit (more or less 1335%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
