Compare any two graphics cards:

Geforce GTX 760 vs Geforce GTX 770

Intro

The Geforce GTX 760 features core clock speeds of 980 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1152 SPUs along with 96 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the Geforce GTX 770, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1046 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1753 MHz on this specific model. It features 1536 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
Geforce GTX 770		230 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (35%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Geforce GTX 770 will be 17% faster than the Geforce GTX 760 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		224384 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 32128 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 770 will be quite a bit (about 42%) better at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		133888 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 39808 (42%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 770 is superior to the Geforce GTX 760, though only just barely. (explain)

Geforce GTX 770		33472 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2112 (7%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.

Wow, the GTX770 almost isn't worth the extra price.

Both my GTX760's is currently at 1,294mhz core and 1732mhz mem (6928mhz effective). Though my primay 760 will do 1840mhz (Elpida) (7360mhz effective).

770 has more cuda cores. Really the price to performance just isn't there, same with power. Kinda glad I didn't buy the 770.

The 760 vs 770 isn;'t really worth it, but the 770 vs 780, its bigger jump, so it looks a bit more appealing.

Not a big difference you say? almost double the fps on every game with my 770 compared to my 760. People may want to consider the 970s now but I still prefer a 780
