Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9400 GT 256MB vs GeForce GTX Titan
IntroThe GeForce 9400 GT 256MB comes with a GPU core clock speed of 550 MHz, and the 256 MB of GDDR2 memory runs at 400 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 16 Stream Processors, 8 TAUs, and 4 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX Titan, which has GPU core speed of 837 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1502 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2688 SPUs, 224 TAUs, and 48 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX Titan should theoretically be quite a bit better than the GeForce 9400 GT 256MB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX Titan should be much (about 4161%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 9400 GT 256MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan is the winner, and very much so. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 the graphics card could possibly record to the 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 clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
